??? Happy Father's Day ???

Mark Smith

 

 

The above verse is quite an embarrassment to the Christian followers of Jesus, the supposed son of "the God of love." How can all the hype about "Family Values" and happy Christian homes be reconciled with this awful, terrible, mean-spirited statement vomited as it were from the pits of hell??? It can't be!!! But does that slow down the Christians???? Hell no! It only makes them work that much harder:

 

Quick! Send in the Damage Control Teams, get the "spin doctors" working over-time! We’ve got to save the savior once again from his own big mouth! Get the crowbar! Help pry the holy foot from out of yond holy mouth!  And let the excuses begin, let them roll forth like golden honey!!! "Well, uhhh, yeah, that's what Jesus appears to have said, but that’s not what he really meant." 

 

How many times have you heard that one? Jesus sticks his holy foot in his mouth, and the Christian you’re talking to tells you that what you just read actually doesn't exist- does he think you're as mental as he is??? What Jesus actually said is obvious to anyone who can read, but this Christian putz is now going to tell you what Jesus really meant? Christian: what part of "hate your father" don't you understand???

 

 

False Translations to The Rescue

Of course, most of the modern "translations" have managed to cover up this Watergate of hatred, in order to cover their Lord’s ass. They have tried to sugar coat the word "hate" (in this verse only, mind you) into meaning not actually hating someone (like the verse clearly commands), but only to "love them less than" someone else.

 

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! 
From now on, the word 

HATE 

will no longer mean "hate,"

 but rather will mean "love less than" 
in all verses that embarrass the Christians.

 

Well gee, that is really convenient  how these dishonest theologians can just willy-nilly instantly muck up the definition of words when it suits their whims. It’s nice they feel they have the right to redefine words to however it suits them at the time.  However,  we can go to a Greek dictionary, containing the original language the New Testament was written in. There we read about this word the Christians have tried to mutate:

 

Misco: to hate, pursue with hatred, detest. (Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon, p. 415)

 

This exact same word Misco,  translated as hate, can also be found in other Bible verses. It is obvious from a sample reading of these texts that hate still means the exact opposite of love, and not just a lesser degree of love.

 

Love thy neighbor, and hate (misco) thine enemy. (Mt. 5:43)	They shall hate (misco) one another. (Mt 24:10)	He that hateth (misco) me hateth (misco) my Father. (Jn 15:23)
Do good to them that hate (misco) you.  (Mt. 5:44)	You will be hated (misco) of all men. (Mk 13:13)	Jacob have I loved, but Essau have I hated (misco). (Rm 9:13)
He will hate (misco) the one, and love the other. (Mt. 6:24)	From the hand of all that hate (misco) us. (Lk 1:71)	Whosoever hateth (misco) his brother is a murderer. (1Jn 3:15)
He will be hated (misco) of all men. (Mt. 10:22)	Blessed are ye when men shall hate (misco) you. (Lk 6:22)	The ten horns shall hate (misco) the whore. (Rv 17:16)
You will be hated (misco) of all nations. (Mt 24:9)	Do good to them which hate (misco) you. (Lk 6:27)	If a man say, I love God, and hateth (misco) his brother, he is a liar. (1Jn 4:20)

 

 

 

The last verse quoted, "If a man say, I love God, and hateth (misco) his brother, he is a liar" really shows the lengths of absurdity theologians will go to, to white-wash Jesus’ reputation. It is obvious that their pet definition of hate meaning “a lesser degree of love” suffers a total breakdown here.  In this verse, if hate means “a lesser degree of love” then all Christians are liars, as all Christians admit to loving their brethren with “a lessor degree of love” than they do their Biblegod.

Try substituting the Christian “definition” for hate, in the place of hate in these verses. It is obviously a bad fit. Christians should face the facts:  Jesus said to hate one’s family- so deal with it. But don’t let any lying, deceitful snake of a theo-ill-logian, in person or on paper, sneak Jesus out of this one. Hate means hate, regardless of how many theologians say otherwise!!! Hate is the OPPOSITE of love, not a "lesser degree" of love. Therefore, when Jesus tells his followers to hate their families, they shouldn’t argue with their god. They should go, and be a good Christian family, and hate all their relatives! And they should remember that, unless they do so, they "cannot be his disciple." Amen!
