Does God beget ?

As a matter of principle I will mention only a few, as even one is enough to prove inconsistancy of the Bible. Here is an example of such contradictions:

Luke 14:26 If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters�yes, even his own life�he cannot be my disciple.

�HATE� IN SCRIPTURE CAN HAVE SHADES OF MEANING E.G.:-

Genesis 29:30-31

Then he had relations also with Rachel and also expressed more love for Rachel than for Leah, and he went serving with him for yet seven years more. ³¹ When Jehovah came to see that Leah was hated, he then opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 

�Leah was hated� MEANS THAT �LEAH� WAS LOVED LESS THAN RACHEL, AS THEY HAD CHILDREN!

IN OTHER WORDS; ONES OWN FAMILY MUST BE LOVED LESS THAN ONE LOVES GOD OR GOD MUST BE OUR FIRST LOVE!

Matthew 19:19

Honor [your] father and [your] mother, and, You must love your neighbor as yourself.�. . .

SO IF ONE IS TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR HOW MUCH MORE SO ONE'S OWN FAMILY, AS CHRISTIANITY STARTS AT HOME!

TO SUM UP THE ABOVE; In the Scriptures the word �hate� has several shades of meaning. It may denote intense hostility, sustained ill will often accompanied by malice. Such hate may become a consuming emotion seeking to bring harm to its object. �Hate� may also signify a strong dislike but without any intent to bring harm to the object, seeking instead to avoid it because of a feeling of loathing toward it. The Bible also employs the word �hate� to mean loving to a lesser degree. (Gen. 29:31, 33; Deut. 21:15, 16) For example, Jesus Christ said: �If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple.� (Luke 14:26) Obviously Jesus did not mean that his followers were to feel hostility or loathing toward their families and toward themselves, as this would not be in agreement with the rest of the Scriptures.�Compare Mark 12:29-31; Eph 5:28, 29, 33.

If Jesus has said that, then we must not find him say anything that would negativate this statment, yet we find this:

1 John 3:15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.

YOU HAVE NOT GOT THE CONTEXT:-

CONTEXT IS SHOWING THE DIFFERANCE BETWEEN THOSES THAT DO THINGS GODS WAY OR THE DEVILS WAY:-

1 John 3:8-10

He who carries on sin originates with the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from [the] beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil. ⁹ Everyone who has been born from God does not carry on sin, because His [reproductive] seed remains in such one, and he cannot practice sin, because he has been born from God. ¹⁰ The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Everyone who does not carry on righteousness does not originate with God, neither does he who does not love his brother. . .

1 John 3:15

Everyone who hates his brother is a manslayer, and YOU know that no manslayer has everlasting life remaining in him.

NOTE WHAT ALSO IS BEFORE THE ABOVE TEXT:-

1 John 3:11-12

For this is the message which YOU have heard from [the] beginning, that we should have love for one another; ¹² not like Cain, who originated with the wicked one and slaughtered his brother. And for the sake of what did he slaughter him? Because his own works were wicked, but those of his brother [were] righteous.

�CAIN� WAS LIKE SATAN A MANSLAYER, THUS SHOWING A CAIN LIKE FEELINGS TOWARD A FELLOW BELEIVER CAN LEAD TO MURDER!   A WARNING TO CULTIVATE LOVE; NOT HATE!

So, according to his own words, since he is preaching to hate, he is a murderer also?

Here is another one, this one talks that a person bears his own sin and pays for his/her own sins:

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

THIS SHOWS THAT ACTIONS BY AN INDIVIDUAL WILL HAVE CONSIQUENCES THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO BEAR THEMSELVES!

THIS IS ADDRESSED TO INDIVIDELS!

Now if the Bible said something contradictory to that principle, then its not from God. And ironically, we do find statement in the same book that quotes God of having said quite contradictory to what have been said in the above statment, here it is:

Exodus 20:5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me.

THIS SHOWS THAT FALSE WORSHIP CAN BE TAUGHT FROM FATHER TO SON AND SO ON, AND WILL HAVE LONG TERM BAD RESULTS!

THIS IS ADDRESSED TO THE NATION AS A WHOLE; THAT WHAT THEY DO WILL LEAVE A LEGECY THAT CAN HAVE BAD CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL!

IF THEY FOLLOW THE WORSHIP OF PAGAN GODS THEN THE HATE THE TRUE GOD!

THE ABOVE 2 TEXTS SHOW 2 THINGS

A) A COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBLITY,

B) AN INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLITY!

Do we need more?
