Strange, you never heard any of these verses read from a pulpit on a Sunday.
Family Values.
Luke 14:26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple
You Aren't Worthy.
Matthew 10:37
"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
May You Be Perpetually Pissed.
Luke 14:25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:
John 12:25 The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Like It Or Not.
Luke 19-27 To those mine enemies that wish me not to be king over him, find him, bring him in front of me and kill him"
Though the New Testament is at first glance more civil than the Old Testament it remains a source of degrading and regressive initiatives focused on forced credulity via threat of damnation or reward of salvation, ensuring that reaping moral power over and the monetary profits from said credulous continues.
The New Testament brings it's own baggage, one such bag, which is oddly enough one of the most renowned concepts of the New Testament, but yet one of the lesser understood. - The concept of the creation of Hell.
I think its important to remember that there was No Hell in the Old Testament.
It wasn't until peaceful loving and forgiving Jesus meek and mild that the concept of eternal damnation came to the Abrahamic faith.
It wasn't the Old Testament gods idea to burn people in a shore less lake of fire for eternity, the only punishment in the Old Testament for unbelievers after death is 'an absence of god', there was no special place for punishments after the ground had covered you over....
Well, at least until the prince of peace arrived with a fiery eternal torture cell for mankind to fear - because he loves you.
Listen,
If your going to allow a myth to employ your mind, Is This Really The Guy You Wanna Work For?
