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

So abandon your family?
Or are you saying just don't follow down their path?

Our love for our family IS showing love to God.
We are made in His image.

Do not follow them, or be like they, it depends the situation, like we can understand, but any how if they do not walk in the path of truth, then do not be like they are, instead follow the will of God, hoping that they also turn.

Our love should be firs for the Lord, and God, and for everyone else who love them.

Sounds cult-ish.

I don't believe God would ask someone to leave his/her family simply because beliefs differ.

I believe you are correct, DewDropInn... God calls for us to spread his word, not to damn or condemn those that aren't followers... He wants us all to love Him...

Rofl, Dew is neither an atheist nor a brother.

What she is saying is that the OP is using exactly the same tactics cults use on their victims. Read some of the other posts by this OP. That may be a person you need to keep in prayer. It perfectly illustrates Paul's admonition that without love, one is a banging gong and a clanging cymbal.
