“Have you ever wondered if all this mess that we are in is
actually
outgrowths of the dysfunctional family relationships of our well-known couple."
Sir, may I refer you to the foundation of our values and beliefs keeping us spiritually poor as a people and morally bankrupt as a nation?
It comes from our most sacred book known as the holy bible. I hope these verses alone will inspire you to read more properly bible contents. In this way, you might conclude that most of the elements that make for our sick society comes from Christianity “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." John 2:15
Matt. 10:34-35 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword,” “For I am come to set a Man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother.”
Mark 13:12 “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and
children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.”
Luke 12:51-53Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. For from henceforth there shall be five to one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother
Luke 14:26 “ If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple
St John 12:25-25 “He that loveth his life shall lose it; he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal; . . . If any man serve me, him will my father honor.”
Luke 19:27 “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them for me.”
