The old saying "Blood is thicker than water" is believed to mean to keep your families closer than your friends. However this is not what the saying originally meant, it has been shortened and perverted from its original meaning and it actually means the opposite.
The full saying is, "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." This can be taken in a couple ways. I personally infer it to mean that the relationship amongst warriors would be thicker than the relationship between family; which i find completely true.
Others also interpret this as the definition of covenant being an agreement and so your covenant with God should be higher than your relationship with family. I'm not well educated on topics of religion, so you can do your own research.
My thoughts in how this is related here; I see occasional posts about families that see different on current issues like the vax. It is ok if you disagree with your family and hold beliefs against the vax. Also, people here have family that have not been awakened yet and are scorned by such, its ok if you have a better relationship with other fellow digital soldiers versus people in your family that may not see what were up against.

I wholeheartedly agree. I have Navy/Marine buddies, as well as my best friend/sister from another mister who are more of a family to each other than our own blood kin. Blood doesn't mean shit when it comes to shitty people with shitty belief systems.
And yes, your covenant with God comes before all others. Abraham proved this when he was ordered by God to sacrifice his son. Nevermind the fact that God told him not to at the end and admitted He wanted to see just how much Love Abraham had for Him.
