In the verse under discussion, the Bible said nothing at all about "IF" your family does this or that. The translators very distinctly said that you had to hate your family to be a disciple of Christ's... period. There is no "IF" or any "conditions" in that verse, anywhere. If someone picked...

What you just said right here is exactly what Simmons, the author of The Passion Translation, said he felt was necessary, and what he tried to do in that translation.

dis·dain disˈdān/ noun noun: disdain; plural noun: disdains 1. the feeling that someone or something is unworthy of one's consideration or respect; contempt. "her upper lip curled in disdain" ********* Really? Is that how you think Jesus told us to feel about our families? Now, let's try it...

Let's stick with one thing rather than confuse the issue by trying to somehow compare maybe eighteen different things. Luke 14:26. How do you say it should be printed for 21st century Christians to understand what was meant when it was first spoken?

There is a FRONT DOOR right in plain view at the border. But many choose not to come here legally as others do... they want to, instead, sneak in across an unguarded piece of desert. Why is that?

I simply asked you to plainly state what you would do with the children of people who have committed crimes. Would you send them to jail with their parents?

IF that were really the case. It seems it seldom is. They just want to come here because Americans have made this a better place to live... and many of them just want to get in on all the Freebe's.

I was a Patriot Guard Rider... I know better from personal experience, not from media.

This is a rather broad statement. Could you be more specific about who these "many if not most" are? (It sounds like you might be on the same page I have been preaching.)

Although for decades and decades, many parts of all Harley bikes have been directly purchased from foreign countries, they have touted it as being THE American motorcycle. And this stuff they are trying to pull now is not going to sit well with the thousands of patriotic riders who are mainly...

Why do you want to be asked questions? Why not just try to answer those that other posters have asked?

I could only make it about halfway through the second paragraph. Sorry. I like most of your posts, but I prefer articles written by thinking adults.

Precisely.... PRECISELY... what do you propose? What??? The adults who deliberately made these children come with them, many, many who are not their parents... or even related to them, at all... did so because they hoped to avoid incarceration for breaking our laws because they had a minor in...

Yes, far too many people seem to enjoy CBS and CNN fantasies, instead of tuning in FOX for some factual news coverage. People, People, People, Instead of continuing to allow the Liberal Media to exploit your well-intentioned emotions as you do, please read this ENTIRE story. TIME Issues...

Yes, they need our prayers, but so does a sadly confused person like you.

Nicely spoken. And it demonstrates just what I meant when I said that "word-for-word" translations fail us when we are not familiar with the deeper (or slightly different) meanings of perhaps just one single word such as, in these cases, "hate." You, me, and every other exclusively English...

So, you have to earn this rapture?

Again, specifically what needs to be done BY A CHRISTIAN at that moment, that believing in Christ hasn't already accomplished?

Please, SPECIFICALLY state what a Christian has do to "be ready" that belief in Christ doesn't already cover? (And I have always wondered what someone who believes we have to "watch" is going to do if they are distracted by typing a post [or straining on the toilet] when that particular...

You know better than that. "The Rapture" game is always some people's idea of a separate and distinct, before-hand escape pod.
