Partly, but that's not the ONLY message in there - And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 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. I believe this saying is to be used by your own mouth! If you love someone more than yourself, you are not worthy of yourself! Love thy neighbor, as you (would) Love yourself So in reverse we can say that the way you do Love your neighbor Is the way you Love yourself. And how is eternal hellfire, or the threat of it, loving, forgiving or compassionate? With the new interpretation I present, this makes more sense now, if you grasp it? DD - Love Spliff |
