In the bible, there is the following:
A certain ruler asked, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered, "You know the commandments, do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.""All of these I have kept since I was a boy," he said.When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything, you have to give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven. Then come, follow me."-Luke 18:18-22
I assume when Jesus says "Come follow me" he means become my desciple. But earlier in the bible, Jesus says:
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brother and sisters, yes, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple...In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple."
-Luke 14:26-33
So God wants us to hate everyone and love everyone. What does he mean?
