Bible Discussion Thread

One of the many bible versions changes the word "hate" to "disregard". Some apologetics argue that "hate" was a mis-translation, and that the idea was that you must renounce all your connections to the physical world(which would make some sense). But "hate" is such a strong term that it's really hard to accept any attempt to re-word the verse, Words mean things. And the old testament commandment of honoring thy father and mother doesn't seem to have any possible logical intersection with this verse. One must conclude that Luke was having a bad day when he penned this, because, to me, it is inconceivable the Jesus would say that.
