So anyone who does not love him more than their own parents is not worthy of him?
You would do well to read "
The Meaning of Life" which is the whole reason we are here on the Earth. Every person on this planet is being tested, to see who we choose to serve. Jesus or satan. If you choose parent OVER Jesus, you serve satan.
What happened to honor thy father and mother?
So let me understand this, you think if a person LOVES Jesus more than parents, that they are not Honoring their parents? Seriously, how old are you? Should i be talking to you with smaller words? Knowing how old you are, would help how i communicate with you. You sound very young, lack much knowledge, and very carnally minded. Age?
Here, he is placing himself above the family members of his followers, AGAIN, indicating pride and extreme arrogance:
Age?
Matthew 10: 37
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Let me say this verse so that you can better understand it (smaller words)
He that loves his father or mother MORE than the Creator of the UNIVERSE, God Himself, is not worthy of GOD; and he that loves his children MORE than GOD is not worthy of being a part of GOD. Does that help you some?
Are you saying a person who loves their parent MORE than God is a good thing? Seriously? Please reveal age?
This is also the sin of ENVY- he is so jealous of anyone who might share their love for another.
Except for the part about envy, this is the first thing that you have said that is TRUE.
Exo_34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Deu_4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Deu_5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Deu_6:15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
Jos_24:19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins
You see the problem lies within your own mind. for some reason you think that jealousy and envy are the same thing. Study that so you know the difference between the two.
Seriously, no offense, how old are you?
