Remember what Jesus said: You have to hate your own family if you want to be his buddy.

How do you spin Luke 14:26 (KJV) = "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:26 (VOICE) = "Jesus: If any of you come to Me without hating your own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and yes, even your own life, you can’t be My disciple."
You're taking it out of context, you don't know what your saying.

quoting Scripture does not help you make whatever point that you want to convey. Understanding it will help you out.

So, you are unable to put a positive spin on it. Well, spend your time worshipping and loving the king and the high priest of the Jews. Enjoy your eternity as a slave to him. Remember, if you do something that displeases him he will beat you severely.
But, since you really don't believe in him you can just say so and no one (at least me) will criticize you. After all, you don't follow his commandments so just admit that you are a non-believer.

Dear GodSpeed63, these are very good verses. Why this question in first place? Because, sometimes an intentionally harmless question can trigger doubts in people’s mind who really don’t go through the whole message. Why give that chance? And the title God is Evil is a bit uncomfortable and unsettling even if it was for testing the knowledge and understanding.

@Diotrephes While you are entitled to have your own opinion please exclude me from a religious debate, friend. That was not my intention.

My brother, Diotrephes; and others like him need to know the truth, that God is Love. If you know a better way to express it, please share it with me.

@GodSpeed63 I was not trying to be critical, my brother. But, I feel the title can be slightly modified. I get your reason though. So if you feel this will work…how about ‘Love that endures’ for a title.

Read the whole chapter and, if you still don't understand, then get saved and let the Spirit of God explain it.
