You do realize that is an English translation of a Greek word, right?
Quote:3404 miséō – properly, to detest (on a comparative basis); hence, denounce; to love someone or something less than someone (something) else, i.e. to renounce one choice in favor of another.
Lk 14:26: "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate (3404 /miséō, 'love less' than the Lord) his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple" (NASU).
[Note the comparative meaning of 3404 (miséō) which centers in moral choice, elevating one value over another.]
In other words, you are not to love anything more than God, God comes first than family second, but of course through your dishonesty you mean to imply that Jesus means that you should have ill will toward your family.
