In this blog, we will be taking a look at a couple of verses used by skeptics to counter the teachings of love by Jesus.
When I first came across these verses, I was actually surprised. It didn't make sense, because we all know the stories and teachings of Jesus about love. Like, love your enemy and love your neighbor. So immediately, there has to be something to these verses that the skeptics use.
Let's take a look at one,
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn "'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." - Matthew 10:34-37
All Jesus was trying to get at here was that those who believe in Him, will be considered an enemy of a sort even in families. A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and so on. This will cause division in one's family, and Jesus was trying to draw a picture in a more poetic sense to get his point across. The reason why Jesus said if you love your family more then Him, then you are not worthy of Jesus is because that is how serious Jesus is about having a relationship with you. And if your belief in Him is causing division, then the onl person you can truly trust is Jesus Christ. But no where in this teaching did Jesus encourage to disobey your parents.
Let's now take a look at another,
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple. " - Luke 14:26
The reason why I talked about Matthew 10:34-37 first is because it would help to explain this verse. Jesus was pretty much saying the same thing as he did at the end of the verses I gave in Matthew. Jesus earlier in Luke 12:51-53 talks about division in family, and how He came to bring the sword.
Conclusion: All Jesus is saying here is that He is very serious, and that a belief in Him might cause division in your family. But He wants you to trust Him more, over your family, because that is how serious He is about you and Him.

Creativity is a Religious Creed
ReplyDelete• Dedicated to the Survival, Expansion and Advancement of the White Race.
• Based on the Laws of Nature, on the Experience of History, on Logic and Common Sense.
• Our Four Dimensional Program: A Sound Mind in a Sound Body in a Sound Society in a Sound Environment.
• Our Goal: Building a Whiter and Brighter World.
Summary
After six thousand years of recorded history, our people finally have a religion of, for, and by them. CREATIVITY is that religion. It is established for the Survival, Expansion, and Advancement of our White Race exclusively. Indeed, we believe that what is good for the White Race is the highest virtue, and what is bad for the White Race is the ultimate sin.
We have come to hold these views by observing the Eternal Laws of Nature, by studying History, and by using the Logic and Common Sense everyone is born with: the highest Law of Nature is the survival of one's own kind; history has shown us that the White Race is responsible for all that which we call progress on this earth; and that it is therefore logical and sensible to place supreme importance upon Race and to reject all ideas which fail to do so.
Our people have faced threats throughout history, but never before have our people faced as grave a threat as it is facing today. Today, our people's very continued biological existence on this planet is in doubt. In 1920, for example, one out of every three people on this planet were White. Today, only one out of twelve are White. If present trends continue, one can only imagine what the complexion of the world will be like in another one hundred years.
How did this calamity come about? It came about because of our people's skewed thinking. Our people have thus far been concerned with every issue besides the issue of their own survival. We have subsidized those not of our own kind at our expense, causing their numbers to soar, while at the same time, White people have scaled back the size of their families, either out of selfishness or because of low-paying salaries and exorbitant taxes. We have divided ourselves into all kinds of organizations and causes, none of whom address the most basic issue: Will White children have a future? With CREATIVITY, this is the issue, and all other issues revolve around it.
Our people everywhere are beginning to embrace the dynamic and inspiring creed and program of CREATIVITY. White people everywhere are beginning to put aside their past differences and divisions and are coming together as one people for their best interests. More and more of our people are beginning to realize that if White people do not look out for their own future, no other people will. As a result, our churches are sprouting up all over the world, our ministers preaching the word of White unity and our members zealously spreading the word to you, our fellow White people. We hope that after reading this pamphlet, you will decide to obtain more information, will consequently decide to become a member of our church, The Church of Creativity, and will decide to join us in this historic struggle.
