For I have come to turn
" 'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law -
a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

The Holy Bible is a spiritual book with many hidden meanings and messages contained therein.
Many times in the bible the word of God speaks of something natural to give example of something spiritual. The commandments of God are given naturally, however they mean something deeper, something spiritual.
However, when we follow the spiritual (heavenly) meaning of the commandments, the bible does not contradict itself.
In conclusion, the bible cannot be properly followed by interpreting it naturally (earthly). We must search for the heavenly (spiritual) meanings contained in the bible.
