Jesus' Family Values
Did the Bible ever emphasize Jesus loving His brothers or sisters; His father, or mother; any woman for that matter? Many times the Bible did say there was a disciple, whom Jesus loved. Can you explain what that was about?
In your value system, is Jesus Christ and God "right and good" about what is "right and good" for human beings?
Matthew 5:39 Jesus said: Resist not evil...
Would you trust someone - maybe a baby-sitter, who would not resist evil? Wouldn't you personally prefer someone close to you and your family to resist evil as much as he or she could? Is not resisting evil right and good for human beings?
Matthew 10:35-36 Jesus said: I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother…and one’s enemies will be those of his household.
What? How is Jesus' C&V model designed to be better for human beings? Isn't Jesus supposed to be our loving, righteous, wholesome family model? My sensitivities can not support Jesus if this is His attitude.
Matthew 10:37 Jesus said: Whoever loves his father, mother, son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
Haven't egocentric, possessive and jealous prisoners on death-row murdered in the name of what they perceived to be love? Where could these attitudes have originated? I think Jesus' attitude is wrong for humanity.
Luke 12:49-54 Jesus said: I have come to set the Earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing. How great is My anguish until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the Earth? No, rather division; father against son, mother against daughter + + +.
Was Jesus the love-model for the Crusades, the Inquisition, Hitler, George W. Bush and some of the other major tyrants throughout history? If Satan said these things, we could validate any anger towards him. Didn’t Jesus say them? Also, is one who wishes really in control?
Mark 13:12 Jesus said: Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will raise up against their parents and put them to death.
If Jesus wants this - I am not on His side.
