Mikko what is ur angle. What are u trying to accomplish? If its pointing the finger and telling people what they are doing wrong or why they are wrong I would urge u to tread lightly for one transgression will keep you from the glory of God. We must not cause petty arguments among believers which this is doing. I think we can all agree....or I hope....that there is only one way to please our father in heaven and that thru faith in Christ. The petty argument of what those scriptures mean is different for some people but it has no bearing on whether or not someone'sheart belongs to Christ Jesus and pposting on the internet random scripture could do some major damage to a young believer in the faith. How would u feel if some teenager took ur words and advice to start literaly hating his family. Is that what u truly think Jesus was saying. If so than I feel bad for u and ur loved ones. Please just stop posting scripture. We all know what it says. A wise man once warned me to not read one verse but read the entire chapter. U can really twist a verse to fit what u believe not what is truth
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 (Matt 10:37)
So if we love our family more than the Lord, then we can not be his follower.
Follow the Lord Jesus Christ
How can one abide in the Love of the Lord?
Scripture says; "Abide in my love. You will abide in my love if you keep my commandments just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love."
Abide means to continue or stay. Love is a choice. If we follow his words .... Love ur God with all....and love your neighbor as urself Than we are choosing to love and we are to continue in this fashion of love. His love. A sacrificial no strings attached love. A love that shows up when no one else will. A love that accept you right were u are. A love that when we wake up in the morning we have a choice. To love one another or not too. We choose to continue or abide in His love by using His example of how he loved people and mirroring that image
My love is for every people but firs comes my real family, according to the Spirit, not form flesh. I respect my parents, according to the flesh, but I am not like one of them, if they refuse the word of the truth, and Jesus Christ.
You did not answer the question. Do you shun? Have you cut off all communication? I am talking flesh here, not spirit.

Actually Jesus says that those who keep His commandments just as He kept the Father's commandments abide or remain in His love.

Colossians Ch 1 ;
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
You apparently do not know the word of truth who IS Jesus Christ:
1 John 4:20-21 (King James Version)
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Well from this I know that you do NOT know the Spirit of agape love who IS God. There are no divisions or separations among God's children and we all are God's children. Some, like you, go astray and think they are special to God over others. But we are all the same to God and we are to love one another as Christ loved us . . . even His torturers and murderers! You have alot to learn about God's love, Mikko.
Luke ch 11;
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Matt 12 ; …49And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers! 50"For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."
If you want to follow Jesus, it decidedly means being political.
If you want to follow Jesus, it decidedly means advocating for the “least of these.”
If you want to follow Jesus, it decidedly means being willing to confront abusive power structures and people and being willing to flip a few tables in the process.
You simply can’t fully follow Jesus if you aren’t willing to be political and stick out your own neck, challenging the hypocritical power structures and leaders on behalf of the oppressed.
