(Lk. 14:26).

Knowing his Greek-speaking audience, Matthew assumed that these Greek speakers would not understand the word "hate" in Hebrew, "hate" also can mean "love less than," just as "love" can mean "love more than, prefer" therefore, he wrote, "The person who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me...." (Mt. 10:37).

Notes Hi, see my dogs, Ariel and Darius.

They say "let sleeping dogs lie", but as for my dogs, lying is forbidden... else they will be in eternal darkness because they will not wake up for good.
