With the dude with the dead parents, I can't peg Jesus with doing something wrong. There's just too little information.
Matthew 10:34-35
34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
35 "For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Luke 12:51-52
51 "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division."
52 "For from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three"
Sounds like a fallible human being said these things.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
