My husband just gave me a bible and told me if I don't hate my family I can't get into heaven...🤦🏻 ♀…

... what.

@littleonemorning, have u read it?

@bonbonmama, yes. It talks about how you must love God more than you're own life, including your families.

I read something about that verse

"First, we must take this verse in the context of the chapter. Jesus is teaching His disciples, and like any good teacher, He begins with a truth statement that is hard to understand in order to get His students thinking. Then, He clarifies the difficult truth statement with a metaphor. The truth statement is the confusing verse 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." So, if we don't hate our family and our own lives, we can't be His disciple. But does He mean we are to have real hatred for our parents?

Next, Jesus relates a metaphor about a man who builds a house without counting the cost and finds that he cannot follow through with what he set out to do. He leaves the house unfinished because he cannot pay what is required. Jesus is showing us the explanation to His difficult statement—that we must count the cost of discipleship. This is the point of the passage. In order to be a disciple, we must be willing to give up everything for Jesus. Therefore, if our parents will not follow Jesus, or even if they disown us for being Christians, we must still choose Him over them.

It is in this sense that we are "hating" our family members who reject the Lord or reject us because of the Lord. This is not easy, and of course it is right that we should love our family members and want our family members to love and follow God. After all, 1 John 4:7-8 says "Beloved, let us love one another for love is from God and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God for God is love." And that is only one of many passages commanding us to love others. But despite our love for the people we know, here is the key: if they don't love Jesus, He must still be our first priority. We must esteem Him more highly than the people we love here on earth and we must love Him more than our own lives. In fact, we must love Him so much that our earthly loves pale in comparison, even to the point of seeming like hate"

@bonbonmama, I'm just confused as to why he would say that to you in that way

@teresabura, thank you. You just put into words what I was attempting to explain to him.

@littleonemorning, exactly...if U read my past posts though I'm starting to think something is seriously wrong with him mentally...😞

@bonbonmama, I have. 😓 I'm sorry. But I will have to agree I think something is not right with him. You need to find a safe way to get out with your kids. ❤️❤️

😖 He really sounds like he may be a bit unhinged....if I were you, I'd think about getting somewhere away from him for a while. This, plus all the other shit, is a bit worrying.

Hates is big sin, and always compare yourself to Jesus, Because he is our main role model for Christians,Does Jesus hates his family ? Nope ,but does he leave all his family for The God and His duty? Yes definitely,so if you hates anything,from small bug to human who's biting you up ,we should not have hate at all,it's one of the request to be in heaven with our Father!

I think he's definitely wrong on this one,maybe you should explain him ,maybe he didn't understand it well, be kind as Jesus to him !
