Matthew 12:37
By thy words thou art justified (graced), and
by thy words thou art condemned (lawed).
Matthew 15:11 (Mark 7:20)
It's not what goes in the mouth that defileth,
but what comes out the mouth that defileth.
1Thessalonians 5:3 (no escape by law)
When they say Peace and Safety (in law),
sudden destruction comes back on them.
James 3:6-10
The tongue defileth the whole body,
and even the course of nature,
whenever set on fire by the law.
Therewith we bless (grace), and
therewith we curse (law) God & men.
Both blessed + cursed ought not be said,
for the twain ends badly: accursed(Gal 1).

an exciting factor to observe is that the Hebrew word for "hate" additionally interprets as "reject". in case you seem at it that way, i think of the verse makes slightly experience. In Luke 14, Jesus became into addressing a crowd of persons who had provided quite a few lame excuses for not following Him. Stuff that's the equivalent of "not now, God--i could desire to do laundry." Or, "I truly have a dentist appointment... sorry." Now, he's not counseling to hate your mothers and fathers. the factor of His rhetoric is that in case you enable dumb stuff get in the way of obeying God, then what's the factor of announcing you are going to stay with Him in any respect? in certainty, He united statesthe ante: do not even enable your nagging kin, or maybe your very own relatives pull you faraway from God. do not even enable your love of your very own life pull you faraway from God. So, as your pastor so well paraphrased: placed Him first.

Proverbs 30:6 reads, "Do not add to his words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
Be cautioned about inserting your interpretation(s) into scripture. It is not your place to do that. It is the God's word, not yours.

I don't think your words are needed at all for anyone with above a 6th grade reading level. In fact, I think in most cases, the words you added take away from the meaning of the verses by unfairly restricting them to the subject to which you think they apply.

God holds accountable not only for actions but for our words.
