The daily humiliations of the modern condition amount to death by a thousand cuts.
Where the exceptional child is held back so the mediocre may feel equal.
@ElectBilzerian@TobyTurner The Septuagint wasn’t judaized. The Masoretic text was written post-Christ and written by those that hate Him.
The Greek language is very precise in its terminology and some nuance is lost from the translation into English.
@TobyTurner a person is called to "hate" or detach from their own ego, self-will, and worldly ties only when those things become **obstacles** to divine love and communion with God.
same vein would be Matthew 10:37. “He who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.”
