Read the words of Jesus for yourself. No one can call themselves His disciples if they do not hate everyone in comparison to their love for him. If you think Jesus’ words are up to interpretation then you have a serious issue.
Are you not reading my comments at all where I specifically said that hate is a comparative term?
Yea, Jesus scored a 100% and the rest of us scored 0% for the test of the Law. The curve only allows for Jesus to be saved based off of following the Law.
Repenting is no more a work than believing in or asking for Jesus to enter our hearts; by your logic, any act of the mind or thought is a work.
Being repentant of sin is a disposition towards sin and God. Read Romans 7 vs 13+ for more clarification of the disposition Christians have with sin.
Satanists are their own gods. Since humanity is like gods to them, this is where their reverence for treating each other come from. It is a twisted love compared to the love we have from the Father.
You need to go and read the scripture I referenced.
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.”
Hate is used as a term of comparison in the Bible. If you hate everything on earth in comparison to your love for Jesus, then what is the need for things that are comparatively hated in Heaven? If you think you need more than Jesus in Heaven and are this attached to worldly things and relationships then you seriously need to reevaluate your relationship with Him.
Also, God does not love everyone the same: “Jacob I loved but Esau I have hated.” Malachi 1:3
Please read the Bible.
You have an issue with Scripture, not me. I’m merely repeating and describing the Word of God.
Maybe listen to the words of Jesus if you’re going to reference Him, it’s very clear that we are saved by faith in Him alone, not by works.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” John 5:24

We also only die once. Not reincarnated.
“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,” Hebrews 9:27
This is literally what the Church of Satan believes. To just treat everyone with love and kindness and you’re all set. We need Jesus for a reason, it’s not all about us nor our works.
We are commanded to be godly, which is more than just trying to please God, but also knowing how to please God by knowing Him and what He commands of us.
We are commanded by Jesus to hate everything in comparison to our love for Jesus (Luke 14:26). Our feelings for everything, even family, should be hatred when we compare it to our love for Jesus. If you think you would miss out at all by not having a dog in Heaven then you truly do not love Jesus.
That’s not what the show portrays at all. It portrays Jesus not even knowing the right words to say and needs Matthew for help to reach the people.
That’s really sad that you needed a TV show to open up the Bible. Hopefully you don’t let the perversions of the show sway your perception of Christ.
Sending out His disciples to ministry is not asking them for help, and that is such a weird perversion to say that Christ is asking for help when he puts them up to tasks.
That’s crazy that you would be open to believing that Jesus, God in the flesh, would ask a sinner for help, even though it is not written about anywhere in His Word, just because some TV show portrays it. I guess it really did do it’s job at misleading people and detracting from the true nature of Christ.
You seriously need to read your Bible because you are dead wrong on Christ. Jesus’ own words contradict you completely:
Matthew 10:
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Luke 12:
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
You seriously think it makes any sense for Jesus to ask His own DISCIPLE for help because He doesn’t know what to say? Seriously??
I am hostile against sin and blasphemy, you got that right. You should read your Bible, you are not some special exemption of man. All are born in sin and iniquity, are children of wickedness, and fall short of God’s Glory.
You have to accept it in order to be washed from His blood. The rest go to hell. Read your Bible, you clearly disagree with the Word of God if you think we are born without sin. How could you possibly agree with some of the Bible then choose to not believe others? That is so wicked and man-centered, trying to be wise in your own eyes.
That’s exactly the excuse people use to shrink the Gospel, because they think it’s up to THEM to bring people to Christ, and not up to the Father to draw them. We are charged with spreading the true message, not trying to accustom it to the wishes of other people because we think we’re in control of their hearts.
Jesus absolutely did not collaborate with anyone to help Him with his sermon, and to think Jesus would need one of His own disciple’s help for a sermon where he was giving a new covenant would be absolutely laughable if it weren’t so sad.
Reminds me of when I have heard people bring up the story of Adam and Eve and say something like “if only they had never eaten of the fruit” or “how could they do that? I wouldn’t have disobeyed if I were them” and they don’t even realize that we are them and are absolutely no better.
Sure, if you’re okay with a watered down and blasphemous version of Jesus. Take the depiction of His Sermon on the Mount, for example, where they depict Him collaborating with Matthew to choose His words to be more acceptable to the masses, and Him going through being clothed by women where they chose blue so He’s “less edgy”. It really is a case in point on how the Churches in the world are shrinking the Word of God in an attempt to be accepted by the world, exactly what Luke in the book of Acts says he would never do and warns against doing.
Salt is fine. Just drink water, your body expels the excess perfectly easily. Sodium isn’t bad when balanced with another ion like chloride. It’s the mono/di/tri-sodium-whatevers that makes sodium dangerous in your diet as it strip away ions like calcium from you body to become balanced and expelled from the body.
Shame on them then for looking to these faceless, coat-tail riding “leaders” as if what they say means anything ever.
Learn to read before going off. Or do you seriously willfully misrepresent me?
