Jesus in Luke 14:26 is alluding to Divine Love Spirituality: he says we have to hate our family and life so we can truly follow him.
If you hate your family and are wanting to evolve your soul in truth, then you’re all set ready to go. And if you don’t know how to go about it, look into doing your Feeling- or Soul-Healing.
If you love your family and want to evolve your soul in truth, then you’re going to have to understand at some point, and come to terms with it, that your ‘love’ of your family might in fact be hindering your souls growth. And you will have to be brave enough to want to find out if that’s true, which means being prepared to jeopardise that so-called love.
Luke 14:26 King James Version (KJV)
26 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.
How can Jesus say something like this when isn’t Jesus all about loving one another? What’s gone wrong, how can we interpret what he’s really saying, pretending he didn’t say the word ‘hate’ and try to see something loving in it?
However if he truly said it – because how can you believe anything written in the Bible to be truly as it was said – then we are to take it literally. And as most people will then wonder: but how can someone who was and is all-loving as Jesus is, talk about our hating our families when surely the family is the bastion of love, security and wellbeing for most people. Has Jesus lost the plot; or if not, then what does he mean?
And what he means is, if you sincerely want to follow him and be as perfect and true as he his, and if you want to receive help from his and Mary Magdalene’s Spirits of Truth, then that’s what you’re going to be required to do – reject your family. Because our families are founded on untruth and error irrespective of all the love they might also contain. And if you want to evolve your soul to Paradise and be at-one with your Heavenly Mother and Father, then you’re going to have to heal yourself of all the negative influences from your mother and father and the rest of your family.
And to heal yourself of all your wrongness – if your family is not prepared to all do it together, if only you are brave enough to step out into the unknown – then you will have to at some point reject them so you can get on with it, so you can heal yourself of your evilness and become of a Celestial level of truth.
And if you won’t confront and face the truth of your untrue relationships within your family and with your parents, then you’re going to seriously limit your souls growth never getting out of the entanglements you’re in, those which are currently retarding your spiritual growth.
So if you’re not prepared to do your Feeling Healing to fully honour the truth Jesus is talking about – to at least see if it is relevant to you – then you’ll not be able to follow him, so won’t be one of his disciples. And until we are all truly following him and Mary M, we’ll never leave the mansion worlds, doomed to be confined to them, never able to move out into the higher and greater Celestial spheres on our way to Paradise and being with our Heavenly Mother and Father.
It will be the hardest thing you ever do: having to come to terms with your unloving relationship with your parents and family, particularly when you feel you do love them and they love you. But within that loving relationship there will still be bits that you don’t feel so right about, and it’s into those bits fully you will need to go through your feelings so as to uncover the truth of that which is not right for you – the truth of that which doesn’t feel right.

I think Jesus is actually saying that you must put him before all your family including children……..I think it was misinterp[reted or added in incorrectly in the 16th century translation……It;s a Test as was The Test with Abraham to kill Isaac…….He will only accept those that give him 100% commitment of Faith in him…….That’s why only a Remnant will be saved this time around…….
I see Jesus as the Living Truth – so simply the Truth. So it’s the Truth that ones needs to put first, not specifically Jesus or even following him; although if one puts the truth first then one will also naturally be following him – being as he is, living true.
So we are to want the truth above all else. And if in uncovering that truth we find we don’t love our parents, children, ourselves, our lives, even Jesus and God, then so be it, that’s how we are. And then we can move onto finding out the truth of why we are this way.
If you feel love for your parents, family and children you can’t simply throw that away and hate them because you believe that’s what you’re meant to do so as to follow Jesus. But what you can do is question your love if you feel any doubts using your feelings to uncover the deeper truth within yourself. And if things are not as they appear to be on the surface, then you’ll find out what is not right and where you’re going wrong.
So really we are to want to know the truth of our feelings of love, that being – are they really true? And as strange as that might sound to ask, for myself I believed I loved and was loved by my family but as I’ve looked for the truth of such love through my feelings I’ve discovered, much to my horror, that it was all false love and nothing like I thought it was. And my relationships with my family ended as the truth came to light for me. And they are still ending as yet more truth keeps coming through my feelings each day.
So this quote from Jesus has proved true for me. I can completely relate to and agree with it all based on my own experiences, all of which have come as a great surprise and shock, as I believed like so many do, that any spiritual advancement I might make would surely enhance my love or myself, family and life, not the other way around.

One thing about God! He does not contradict himself………..
5th Commandment
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Nothing about Hate There??? Christ wants us to Love each other, BUT you must put him before all Material things, including Family!!!
You can’t love another when you’re full of hate. And too many people feeling hate and bad about themselves, other people, even Jesus and God, don’t want to feel those bad feelings because they wrongly believe they shouldn’t feel them, so use their mind to block them out telling themselves they must be all-loving, that being of love is the way to go. And denying and dismissing the feelings you have is what makes you sick.
It’s harder but far better to go with your feelings. So with all your bad ones to fully embrace and acknowledge them, not deny them. So to allow yourself for feel as bad and hateful as you do. And as it’s how you are feeling anyway, why not at least live true to yourself – true to those feelings. You don’t have to like feeling bad and being full of anger and hate, but as you are, why not get on with accepting it.
And then from here the next step you can take is to want to uncover the truth of why you are feeling bad, why you are so angry and full of hate. And to want to find that truth through your feelings and not by using your mind. So what you’ll need to do is express all your anger and hate to someone who will accept you saying all you feel and won’t criticise or judge or stop you or tell you how you should be, they’ll just allow you to rant and rave with the full emotion of such feelings, all whilst you long hard and really want to know the truth of such feelings – why you are feeling them. And you can ask God to help you stay with your feelings, and help to express them, and help to see the truth they are to show you.
And eventually when you’ve uncovered all the truth your feelings are to show you, then you’ll no longer feel the bad feelings, so all your anger and hatred will have gone, being replaced with good feelings. Then you can set about expressing those good feelings and longing for their truth and being loving about it. It all happening naturally.
But if you jump over your bad feelings, deny your hatred, you’re only hurting yourself, and so retarding your growth of truth – retarding your spiritual advancement.
Looking to your feelings for the truth of yourself I call doing our Feeling Healing, as that’s what it amounts to. http://divinelovesp.weebly.com/soul-healing.html
According to Greek dictionaries the actual definition can be “to love less”. The word “hate” is probably a poor translation from the Latin Vulgate.
“To love less” rather than to hate. That’s quite interesting because if God is love and all-loving, what then it hate? And if God is only love then He can’t be hate, wrathful and scary, that being what we wrongly attribute to God when really it’s the False Gods, the Evil Ones, Lucifer and Satan who are those negative things.
And if we are in and of the image of God and we can hate then can God also hate? But can God be love and no-love – hate at the same time? So what really is hate?
And if God creates everything, and sees to it that some of us go astray and become evil, then we are we evil and hating still within the love of God. So then if it’s all still within and of love, then perhaps it’s right that we simply ‘love less’. And is loving less to the degree of not loving at all – when we are hating? And as we’re really souls and souls of love, perhaps we can love less to a high degree but never actually reaching complete lovelessness as it’s not actually possible. So hate is only a relative term within the lower end of loving.
