What is the religious defense of this Jesus Christ quote?

RE: What is the religious defense of this Jesus Christ quote?
It comes into conflict with the 10 commandments.

Exodus 20:12 KING JAMES VERSION
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

^^^^^It doesn’t say honor your father and mother except if they don’t worship Jesus or don’t accept Jesus as a savior.
The above line is meant for jews who already worship the jewish god. It does not come into conflict with commandment 1, 2 and 3.

The problem is that Jesus is a late comer and wants to inject a new rule: Worship Jesus as a god or savior.
Jesus didn’t do much to convince his people and then makes threats.
So, Jesus is an initiator of a problem.

Luke 12:47 KING JAMES VERSION
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not [himself,] neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes.]

^^^^^Jesus implies that he will beat you up if you don’t worship him.


Matthew 12:30 KING JAMES VERSION
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

^^^^^This is an indirect way to say fuck you if you are not worshiping me.



It also answers an interesting question that christians sometimes ask me:
What would god have to do to convince you?

Answer: Jesus failed to convince some of his people, the jews.
How is it possible that Jesus failed so easily?
All he did was perform magic to cure people.
Why didn’t Jesus do more to convince people?

My Answer: Can he do something else?
