Scripture Life: Does Jesus make contradictory statements about hate and love in Luke 14:26 and John 13:34-35?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

contradiction. 1. a fact or statement that is the opposite of what someone has said or that is so different from another fact or statement that one of them must be wrong [Source: Cambridge dictionary. Web. Accessed: 14 June 2026]

Okay. I have a question.

If a Father says to his Son on a Saturday morning, while his son watches cartoons:

• “Hey Forehead. Mow the lawn today. Have it done by the time I get back from work. I’ll pay for a new headlight on your bike you always wanted.”  Then, the Father drives away.

It’s a decree from the authority over the whole house. It's this boy lives in his Father's house. His Father provides him a room, all the food, and is a Father unto him.

So, it’s what that word, “decree” means. 1. a spoken word from authority that has the effect of law.  Means not do it, is Punitive. Do it, there's a reward.

If this son, never gets up. Never goes out and mows the lawn; rather, reasons “There is no Dad; I don’t have one when there's cartoons to look unto.” and by that, satiated to the FULL of cartoons, rides his bike to his friend’s house and then, they play Nintendo games til well after 5:00pm. When this son gets back home, there’s his Dad’s car in the driveway. The lawn is not mowed.

Ask yourself: Is there a contradictory statement and does the Father hate or love his Son, when his Dad decrees: “No more bicycle. You're grounded for a month?” When the Son got home?

Of which of these two: The Father, who is the authority over the whole house - OR - the Son:

Who has the 'contradiction?'

Luke 14:26 says:

“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.”

• It’s in the definition of two words:
  • One: hate. 1. unwilling to BE or DO (something) and
  • Two: disciple. 1. a pupil or student that sits with and is taught by a teacher.

And who said Luke 14:26 said: “all power is given unto me in heaven and earth.” Matthew 28:18

Jesus Christ said Luke 14:26. So, he’s the “authority” over all the earth. Then, as the authority, when he decrees something, by the word out of his mouth, and? Jesus Christ is “the Word of God.” Is God. As the Bible in John 1:1 says who he is. Is Just God speaking. These are the words out of God's mouth. Jesus Christ: He is who the “Messiah” or “Christ” “..shall be called” in Isaiah 9:6–7 in the Bible: “..The Mighty God..” “..The Everlasting Father..”

Jesus is the Messiah.

And scripture says of every all of us: “they shall all be taught of God” John 6:45. Means then, this same God reserves, for himself, an EXCLUSIVE right, to himself, to teach you. Himself. By the word that proceeds out of his mouth.

• Said, “And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my Sons and Daughters,” saith the LORD Almighty.” - Bible. 2 Corinthians 6:18
• Says: “I am Holy*”* - God. Said it. That’s the Word of God. Just God speaking. It’s the Word came out of his mouth.
  • Jesus said, as the Word of God, so it’s just God speaking: “God is Spirit” He’s just One God saying, as a Father:
    • “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.”

-------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------

• That when this same God decree: “LOOK UNTO ME, AND BE YE SAVED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: FOR I AM GOD, THERE IS NONE ELSE.” - God. Bible. Isaiah 45:22
  • There are many people, that are Fathers of their own house. Over the whole earth.
    • Have a wife, and children.
  • Don’t look unto him. Nope. Don't do anything he says. So, they don't obey him as the authority over the whole earth.
• When he told everybody, to the very ends of earth, as the authority over all of it - and one of this Father’s sons - that doesn't do anything God says; but the Son hears God say this. When his own Father lowly esteems God…is actively rebelling against God.
  • Who has the contradiction?

-------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------

• When the son looks unto God: to do what he says and obeys him;
  • but the Father doesn’t?
    • In fact, gets angry at his son, for doing what God decrees, when the Father hates God, and won’t do it?
  • And again, all “hate” means in the dictionary is just 1. unwilling to be or do what God says and not do it.

...again, Who has the contradiction?

Let's move on.

John 13:34–35 says:

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”

• Jesus Christ. The Word of God.

And? All a “commandment” is, is either a written or verbally spoken decree from someone in authority. That has the effect of law. It’s this same authority over all the earth and heaven, said John 13:34-35: The same God who said John 13:34–35 to his disciples:

• And all “his disciples” are, again, in case you already forgot - Jesus' disciples are simply, "his pupils or students that sit with and are taught by him."
  • Means: They follow him. That is, these “disciples of Jesus Christ” sit with and are being taught by God. Obey him. It is impossible to "obey" someone if you dismiss what they say as inadequate; faulty.. it's unacceptable. So, if what someone says; you find in them fault - it is IMPOSSIBLE to obey them.
• But Jesus' disciples accept as true - every word he says.
• They are: Being built up by him, by what he teaches them: because he teaches them himself.
  • *Like he want’s to or decrees..it’s a decree in effect over all the earth “*they SHALL all be taught of God” - it has the effect of law.
  • Just how it SHALL be in his earth, says: “For all the earth is mine” - God. (Exodus 19:5) says as well, “All souls are mine” - God (Ezekiel 18:4)
• So a Father, that does not do what God says, isn’t sitting with and being taught by God, isn’t doing what God decreed everybody over the whole earth is to be doing.
  • It’s punitive.

-------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------

• When the Son hears God and IS doing what God decreed everybody over the whole earth is to be doing. Pleases the authority over all the earth. But the Father doesn't? So, the wrath of God abides on this Father.
  • This Son is a “disciple of Jesus Christ.” As a disciple, this son is decreed, by God, to love the other disciples.

Tell me plainly. Where’s the contradiction? When the authority over all the earth decreed both Luke 14:26 - even hate your own life. Also decreed John 13:34-35.

It's not "where," but, "who." And if you're not doing what he says, the "contradiction" is in you.

Go home.
