"Detesting"
the
"Despising"
was because people knew
of the Lords plan for me and honey
and
they put
their own
selfish desires
for comfort
in this world
ahead of it.
(What is Idolatry again?
Putting ANYTHING,
ANYTHING.
above your God.)
Even knowing
the plans the lord had for us.
They put themselves
above it.
Luke 14:26
If any man come to me,
and hate not
his father,
and mother,
and wife,
and children,
and brethren,
and sisters,
yea,
and his own life also,
(cant emphasize it enough.)
he cannot be my disciple.
Reference:
Matthew 18:6
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Here again,
we have done the same exact thing we have done with the word hate in Luke 14:26.
We have made:
"Little ones"
mean children.
And it is simply not what it means.
GOD DOESNT MISPEAK.
EVER.
COMPLETE SNOW WHITE PERFECTION
JUST ISNT CAPABLE OF DOING SO.
IF HE MEANT CHILDREN?
HE WOULD HAVE SAID SO.
HE DID SO PLENTY OF OTHER TIMES.
HERE?
IN THIS INSTANCE?
ITS SIMPLY NOT WHAT HE SAID.
He used a child
AS AN EXAMPLE
representing us
being his children.

Berean Strong's Lexicon
mikros: Small, little, least, insignificant
Original Word: μικρός
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: mikros
Pronunciation: mee-kros'
Phonetic Spelling: (mik-ros')
Definition: Small, little, least, insignificant
Meaning: little, small.
Word Origin: Derived from a primary root word in Greek, meaning "small" or "little."
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is קָטָן (qatan), Strong's Hebrew 6996, which also means small or little.
Usage: The Greek word "mikros" is used to describe something of small size, quantity, or degree. It can refer to physical size, age, rank, or importance. In the New Testament, "mikros" often conveys humility or insignificance in a positive or negative sense, depending on the context.
Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, size and stature were often associated with power and importance. The use of "mikros" in the New Testament challenges these cultural norms by emphasizing the value of humility and the significance of the seemingly insignificant in God's kingdom. Jesus frequently used "mikros" to illustrate spiritual truths, such as the importance of childlike faith and the value of serving the least among us.

John 15:18-25
The World Hates
the Disciples
(Some people in the church do too)
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[a] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’[b]

John 15:20
John 15:25
All this twisting things around and making them more plateable or easier for us to digest?
I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE IT.
Doesnt matter if its Genesis 6
or in these instances here.
CHERRY PICKING
and WHITEWASHING
or just all together avoiding
difficult parts of scripture
is simply inexcusable.
ALL IN.
OR
ALL OUT.
Whats it gonna be?
You don't get to pick
which parts
you wanna believe
and which ones you don't.
No matter how difficult they may be
for you to stomach.
"Well I dont like that."
Voice your complaint
when you stand in front of him.
Ya might wanna reference
Job
and the smack down
that was put on him
when he started complaining
about what he didnt like:
38:1
Then the Lord spoke to Job
out of the storm. He said:
2 “Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
Theres only about four more chapters of it...
and Kudos to Pastor Bridgette
for preaching on it
for about a month of Sundays.
