What's wrong with Loving God more? Do you love your sisters and brothers more than your father or mother?
Jesus is always taken out of context? He spoke in parables for most of His ministry. Until He announced that He would speak "directly" to His apostles. Which they were amazed, and open to at that point.
People then, and even now couldn't understand the concepts He brought. They needed to be shown, and proved to! That's why He died and came back to life! To show that He was the Way to Eternal Life!
Matt 10:37 "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39"He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it."
I love my family on an equal basis.
Why should I love someone who only apparently appears periodically, to selected people, more than the people in my life every day.
It's always amazing to me when people claim that people of the opposing view take their person that they continuously quote out of context, but the defenders of that person never do . . .
Oh, and throwing bible quotes at us as though they have any relevance is like me quoting Lord of the Rings at you as though that has any life meaning to you.
