It has nothing to do with me. The kingdom of the heavens is like a net: either study to show yourself approved or end up the twice dead rotting carcass of a no-good castaway fish.
Please quote the places where Yeshua said such things as you say in your scare-quotes. Otherwise your generalisations and paraphrasing of whole passages in such a way as you have done are really not even true but rather only your interpretations of various passages and parables to suit your agenda. Here is a real quote:
John 12:46-47
46 I am come a light into the world so that whosoever is faithfully-trusting into me should not abide in the darkness.
47 And if anyone hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but that the world should be delivered [saved].
Although, don't most Christians believe Jesus is also Yaweh?
I guess. Sort of. There was always a definite divide in my mind, when I was a Christian, between God the Father, and Jesus, even though I believed Jesus was God. The God-Father was the scary dude that supposedly loved us, but needed a mediator, the Son-God, to stand between us and him so that he (with his delicate sensibilities) could stand to look at us filthy, vile sinners and not send us to an eternity of indescribable torment.
You mean the scripture posted there? That is allegory; Yeshua says, "Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?" And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, "Behold my mother and my brethren!" (Does he not have a mother and four brethren? and how many fingers are on each hand?). "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in the heavens, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." So each of us has our own "members" of our own "households" and Yeshua came to part your house asunder, (your body-temple is your house). Your heavenly Father -vs- your father the devil, and Yerushalem of above, (mother-covenant) -vs- your mother of harlots, (Rev 17), and your son of consolation and comfort -vs- your son of perdition, and father against son, and mother against daughter, and so on and so on, until you cleave away from the old man nature and adhere yourself wholly unto your heavenly Father. As for literal physical mothers and fathers of procreation Yeshua upholds the commandment in several other places: we are to honor our father and mother.
Why are you asking me that? What does it have to do with the fact that there are groups of people in our age and society who are suffering because they have long been considered OTHER and LESS THAN?
Nope, I am saying that about you and you are simply pretending it is not true of yourself and the OP even when it is blatantly obvious from the OP.
Confusion is easy to believe when one refuses to see the whole picture..of the entire list of PEOPLE Jesus says matters, YOU FOCUS ON BLACK LIVES as the THEME???? Time for people to put that sheet away and come out as a HUMAN...
