Jesus said to her, Do not hold me... (John 20:11 to 17)
88. What was Jesus instruction for his disciples?

Go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God (John 20:17)
89. When did the disciples return to Galilee?
Immediately, because when they saw Jesus in Galilee some doubted (Matthew 28:17). This period of uncertainty should not persist
After at least 40 days. That evening the disciples were still in Jerusalem (Luke 24:3 3). Jesus appeared to them there and told them, stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high (Luke 24:49). He was appearing to them during forty days (Acts 1:3), and charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise ... (Acts 1:4)

No. God will not lie or repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent (I Samuel 15:29)
Yes. And the Lord repented that he had made Saul King over Israel (I Samuel 15:35). Notice that the above three quotes are all from the same chapter of the same book! In addition, the Bible shows that God repented on several other occasions:
i. The Lord was sorry that he made man (Genesis 6:6)
I am sorry that I have made them (Genesis 6:7)
ii. And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people (Exodus 32:14).
iii. (Lots of other such references).
93. The Bible says that for each miracle Moses and Aaron demonstrated the magicians did the same by their secret arts. Then comes the following feat:
Moses and Aaron converted all the available water into blood (Exodus 7:20-21)
The magicians did the same (Exodus 7:22). This is impossible, since there would have been no water left to convert into blood.
94. Who killed Goliath?
David (I Samuel 17:23, 50)
Elhanan (2 Samuel 21:19)
95. Who killed Saul?
Saul took his own sword and fell upon it.... Thus Saul died... (I Samuel 31:4-6)

Yes. There is no man who does not sin (I Kings 8:46; see also 2 Chronicles 6:36; Proverbs 20:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; and I John 1:810)
No. True Christians cannot possibly sin, because they are the children of God. Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God.. (I John 5:1). We should be called children of God; and so we are (I John 3: 1). He who loves is born of God (I John 4:7). No one born of God commits sin; for Gods nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God (I John 3:9). But, then again, Yes! If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (I John 1:8)
97. Who will bear whose burden?
Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2)
Each man will have to bear his own load (Galatians 6:5)
98. How many disciples did Jesus appear to after his resurrection?
Twelve (I Corinthians 15:5)
Eleven (Matthew 27:3-5 and Acts 1:9-26, see also Matthew 28:16; Mark 16:14 footnote; Luke 24:9; Luke 24:3 3)

100. Was baby Jesus life threatened in Jerusalem?
Yes, so Joseph fled with him to Egypt and stayed there until Herod died (Matthew 2:13 23)
No. The family fled nowhere. They calmly presented the child at the Jerusalem temple according to the Jewish customs and returned to Galilee (Luke 2:21-40)
101. When Jesus walked on water how did the disciples respond?
They worshipped him, saying, Truly you are the Son of God (Matthew 14:33)
They were utterly astounded, for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened (Mark 6:51-52)
*TRINITY IS BORROWED FROM THE PAGANS BC*
Religious scholar and historian, Victor Paul Wierwille, wrote:
*"Long before the founding of Christianity the idea of a triune god or a god-in-three persons was a common belief in ancient religions. Although many of these religions had many minor deities, they distinctly acknowledged that there was one supreme God who consisted of three persons or essences. The Babylonians used an equilateral triangle to represent this three-in-one god, now the symbol of the modern three-in-one believers."*
*"The Hindu trinity was made up of the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The Greek triad was composed of Zeus, Athena and Apollo. These three were said by the pagans to 'agree in one.' One of the largest pagan temples built by the Romans was constructed at Ballbek (situated in present day Lebanon) to their trinity of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. In Babylon the planet Venus was revered as special and was worshipped as a trinity consisting of Venus, the moon and the sun. This triad became the Babylonian holy trinity in the fourteenth century before Christ."*
*"Although other religions for thousands of years before Christ was born worshipped a triune god, the trinity was not a part of Christian dogma and formal documents of the first three centuries after Christ."*
*"That there was no formal, established doctrine of the trinity until the fourth century is a fully documented historical fact."*
*"Clearly, historians of church dogma and systematic theologians agree that the idea of a Christian trinity was not a part of the first century church. The twelve apostles never subscribed to it or received revelation about it. So how then did a trinitarian doctrine come about? It gradually evolved and gained momentum in late first, second and third centuries as pagans, who had converted to Christianity, brought to Christianity some of their pagan beliefs and practices."*

#Comparison between Islam and Christianity
In the name of Allah, the most Gracious most Merciful.
So whoever Allah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islam; and whoever He wants to misguide - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allah place defilement upon those who do not believe. Quran (6:125)
Thank Allah for the blessing of Islam and thank Allah that he cleansed our hearts. Thank Allah because he led us out of the darkness and into the light. Our Lord, free our necks from the fire of hell. Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.
I hope that Allah helps me in this subject.
I wanted to show the difference (to every Christian with a sane mind) between what they call a religion and Islam. Maybe Allah will guide someone by it, and all muslims will know they are on the right path.
What I offer is a small comparison between Islam and Christianity. I will not take long, but using my simple words I wanted to show what I have to you and to everyone that's reading, God willing.
The study contains several sections for comparison, namely:
1- Monotheism and Trinity.
2-The Prophets.
3- Point of view in the Blessed Virgin Mary.
4- Conservation and Interpolating.
5- Women.
6- Prayer.
7- Honoring one's parents.
8- War and Peace.
9- Realism and Mythology.
I will address each of them separately from the standpoint of Islam and from the point of view of Christianity.
Let's Start with God's blessing...

monotheism and Trinity
Allah Almighty said:
And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Quran (2:163).
He said:
It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (3:6).
He said:
Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. Quran (3:18).
He said:
Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One, Allah , the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent." Quran (112:1-4).
I will stop with these, because if I want to write more, I will need pages and pages of list out all the monotheism verses, because Islam is built on the fact that God is Allah , who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness. He is the first (nothing is before him), the last (nothing is after him), the high (nothing is above him), and the most near (nothing is nearer than him. There is nothing like unto Him, he can't have a partner, a female companion or a son. He is One, he have no second. He is Complete and not separated. He is Perfect and there is nothing like Him. Because originally in Islam, monotheism is the first pillar of Islam without which man cannot be a Muslim.
Monotheism is to believe in God (Allah) alone with no partners. And that comes by knowing his divinity (Godhead), admitting his Oneness, and denying the idea of equals. And by this we can see the simple fact of monotheism, and that is to worship him alone, nothing with him.
Monotheism is the essence of all the heavenly religions. And that is what the message (call) of apostles and prophets (peace be upon them) was all about. Starting with Adam and ending with Mohammed.
And Jesus Christ peace be upon him confirmed that by saying:
I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. Quran (5:117).
Allah Almighty said:
And to the 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?" Quran (7:65).
And he said:
And to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allah [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allah's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment." Quran (7:73).
He said:
And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord." Quran (7:85).
Hence we see that all the prophets of God called for the unification of Allah alone with no partner.
-
Christianity
It appears that they worship one God, according to what allegedly said by Jesus Christ PBUH quoting the Old Testament: Deuteronomy (6:4) Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.
But the fact is: it's not just one God, they have three Gods in one God or what they call "trinity", which is no sane mind can accept it.
And this was confirmed by the Director of Helwan Theological Seminary Archpriest Michael Mina, and St. holy Yousab II Pope, and Patriarch of Saint Mark Episcopate in Encyclopedia of "theology" Vol. I, p 158 and 165. Vol. III p 385 ...
The bible says:
•John (3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
•John (10:15) even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.
•1 John (3:16) By this
we k
now love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Although he says in:
•Deuteronomy (6:4) Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
•Isaiah (44:6) Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
What is weird that Christians still believe in trinity which is never mentioned in the Bible. And even weirder, they call Jesus a God and he never said it.

2- Prophets in Islam:
Islam has defined Prophets as: men that were chosen by Allah, he cleansed their hearts and made them infallibility against sins. He chose them to deliver his message and spread his religion among people. Because they are the ones who were given knowledge and wisdom from Allah Almighty.
* Allah Said about David and/or Solomon:
And We certainly gave David from Us bounty. [We said], "O mountains, repeat [Our] praises with him, and the birds [as well]." And We made pliable for him iron. Quran (34:11).
* And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allah , who has favored us over many of His believing servants." Quran (27:15).
* And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah ]. Quran (38:30).
* And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved. Quran (2:102).
* So when they came to Solomon, he said, "Do you provide me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Rather, it is you who rejoice in your gift. Quran (27:36).
-------
About Moses:
* And [recall] when We gave Moses the Scripture and criterion that perhaps you would be guided. Quran (2:53).
* And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good. Quran (28:14).
* And We did certainly give Moses the Torah and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you, [O Children of Israel], with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party [of messengers] you denied and another party you killed. Quran (2:87).
------
About Lot:
* And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Quran (7:80).
* And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient. Quran (21:74).
-------
About Jesus:
* Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was. Quran (3:59).
* The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. Quran (4:171).
* And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. Quran (5:116).
* And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign.... Quran (23:50).
These are some of the verses were Allah Almighty told us about the Prophets, because they are like what he said about them:
• Messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Quran (4:165).
So, no Muslim is allowed to deny the prophethood of any of them, because anyone who does, he will no longer be a true muslim. Just like what Allah Almighty said:
* The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction
between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination." Quran (2:285).
We Muslims do not distinguish between God's messengers, because Prophet Jesus is just like prophet Mohammed who is just like all the other prophets, we believe in all of them. And them muslims will come on the judgment day witnessing that, like what Allah said:
* And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you.... Quran (2:143).
So, all the prophets of God are Muslims, they delivered their message exactly how it was given to them. That is what the Quran & Al-Sunna, and there are no prophets in Islam that did adultery or refused to do Allah's orders. All of them were chosen and cleansed among all people, and as soon as they received the message, Allah protected them and infallible them against all sins...

Prophets in Christianity:
Christianity doesn't know the religious concept of "Infallibility of the Prophets of God"( which means that Prophets are infallible or immune from committing sins being protected by a special Providence of God).Moreover,it went down to the denial of the prophecy of some prophets.
In Christianity, prophets obviously commit evil and immoral sins, and I do not really know how the Lord will forgive them for these sins since Jesus (as they claim) was crucified for the redemption of mankind from Adam's sin.So what about the sins of the prophets! How many times should Jesus be crucified for those sins?
Just take a look at the description of the prophets in the Bible:
The story of Lot:
- Genesis (19:30-38) And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters • And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth • Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father • And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose • And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father • And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose • Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father • And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day • And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
The story of David:
- 2 Samuel (11:2-6)
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. • And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? • And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. • And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. • And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
- 2 Samuel (11:13-15)
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. • And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. • And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
- 2 Samuel (11:26-27)
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. • And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
The story of Judah
- Genesis (38:12-18)
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. • And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. • And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to T
imnath; for she
saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. • When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. • And he
turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? • And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? • And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
These examples are just few of the false stories mentioned in the bible which are improper for the prophets of God.
We didn't mention the infidelity of Solomon (who is infallible of that sin) because of women's seduction (1 kings:11).
Jacob wrestled with the Lord (Genesis 32:24-30).
Also the incest in the prophets families
Ex: Genesis (35:22), 2 Samuel (13:11-14)
These Biblical verses and more others clearly encourages Christians to commit adultery and big sins following the steps of Prophets. How can a book full with these false verses encouraging its followers to commit adultery and big sins be a Holy Book ?!!!
Where is the chastity in this book .... There is none!
And where is the chastity of the prophets and their purity? ..... There is none!
Where is the chastity of the believers themselves? ... There is none!
and where is the shyness of the readers while reading such immoral stories of the Prophets? ...... it does not exist!
Don't the composers of this book know that it will be read by women and children? How will they read this much immorality in their holy book? If the Bible has so much immoral stories about the Prophets, why shouldn't parents allow their children to read adult stories and see pornographic movies?

Honouring One's Parents in Islam
ALLAH SAYS IN THE HOLY QURAN :
"And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young." (Surah Al-Isra'; 17: 23-24)
ALLAH SAYS IN THE HOLY QURAN :
"Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents" (Surah Àl-An'am; 6: 151)
"And [recall] when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except Allah; and to parents do good." Surah Al-Baqarah; 2: 83)
ALLAH SAYS IN THE HOLY QURAN
"Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good" (Surah An-Nisa'; 4: 83)
"Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him and be good and dutiful to your parents." (Surah Al-An'am, ayah 151; 6:151)
Allah commands the believers to honor the parents.Allah associates the honoring of one's parents and benevolence (kindness) to them to His worship. The worshiping is not acceptable without honoring one's parents.
In a hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad, a man came to the Prophet asking, ‘Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship?' The Prophet said: 'your mother.'
The man said: 'Then who?’
The Prophet said: 'Then your mother.' The man
further asked: 'Then who?’ The Prophet said: 'Then your mother.' The man asked again: 'Then who?’The Prophet replied: 'then your
father. '
Islam urges to honor parents, obeying and being kind to them even if they were disobedient to Allah .May Allah put the guidance to the right path of the disobedient parents on the hands of the good son .
Omar ibn Al-Khattab (a Companion of Prophet Mohammad PBUH) (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, 'The best one of the next generation (At-Tabi'un) is a man called Owais, he will have a mother to whom he is so obedient; and he will be suffering from leucoderma. If he made an oath that Allah will do something, Allah will respond to his oath. If you meet him, ask him to pray for forgiveness for you".
Omar ibn Al-Khattab (a Companion of Prophet Mohammad PBUH) used to ask the people who were coming from Yemen :
"Is there amongst you Uwais ibn 'Amir?' He continued doing this until he met Uwais. He said: 'Are you Uwais ibn 'Amir?' He said: 'Yes.' Omar asked: 'Are you from the tribe of Qaran?' Uwais answered affirmatively. He (Hadrat) 'Omar (again) asked: 'Did you suffer from leprosy and then you were cured from it but for the space of a dirham, i.e., a tiny part' ? He said: Yes. He (Omar) said: Is your mother (living)? He said: Yes. He ('Umar) said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say: There would come to you Uwais b. 'Amir with the reinforcements from the people of Yemen. (He would be) from Murad , a branch of Qaran. He had been suffering from leprosy from which he was cured but for a spot of a dirham. His treatment with his mother will be excellent. If he were to take an oath in the name of Allah, Allah would honour that oath. And if it is possible for you, then do ask him to ask forgiveness for you (from your Lord). So he (Uwais) begged forgiveness for him.
Abu Huraira (A companion of prophet Mohammad PBUH) is set as an example of being obedient to one's mother. He said: 'I migrated from Zahran to the Prohet peace be upon him and when I settled at home, with my mother, she began insulting the Prophet peace be upon him, I was angry and went to the Prophet peace be upon him, and said : O' Messenger of Allah , my mother insults you ; She made me hear what I hate, so, ask All
ah the Almighty to guide her to the true path. Th
ereupon, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, raised his hands in supplication to Allah and said: ' O' Allah, guide the mother of Abu Hurairah to the right path; O' Allah, guide the mother of Abu Hurairah to the right path. Abu Hurairah then said: 'o' Messenger of Allah, and ask Allah to make me and her beloved by good Muslims. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah , peace be upon him, said, addressing Allah the Almighty: 'And make them both beloved by your righteous servants.' Abu Hurairah returned home and knocked at the door to find that his mother has taken a bath and then said : 'I bear witness to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His bondsman and His Messenger.' She became guided because of her son's care and love for her.
A Yemeni man was going around the Ka'ba while carrying his old mother on his back,. Then he asked, 'Ibn 'Umar? Do you think that I have repaid her? Do you think that with this deed I returned her rights. He replied, 'No, not even for a single sigh , groan or pain of delivery.'

If Jesus is the perfect example for Christians,it will be a big disaster considering what the Bible says about him that he wasn't obedient to his mother nor loving her, treating her badly even when he was on the cross, he said to her :“Woman, here is your son,” (John 19:26) so she is nothing except a woman to him not a mother.
John Bible 2. "When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
“Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
here is the drunk Jesus shouting on his mother face in front of everybody, with no sign of respect in a way that can yield to a notion that mothers have no social religious value like that and said: "Woman, why do you involve me?" (John 2:4).
While he was sitting with people, his mother was standing outside and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you. “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” and this is how Jesus showed that his mother and brothers weren't doing what God's asked them to do, therefore he disclaims and disregards them.
This was not enough to him to show how bad his relationship with his family, but also he declared that "a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household." (MT 10:36) and "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26).
Is this obedience that you were talking about? you have to know that all Christens are following your path!
In Christianity, children bear their parents' sins, thought they weren't committed by them! They are punished by their parents' sins! why? is it fair? how can God accept their repentance? "The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of their parents to the third and fourth generation." (Numbers 18:14)
I am not talking about sermons which came after that, but I am talking about the idea that Christians who consider Jesus as a perfect example for them, how can they follow someone who was drunk, shouting his mother , treating her badly and addressing her as a woman? despite the fact that in some chapters of the Holy Book, the penalty of disobedience of parents is killing.
"Any one who insults his mother and father will be killed" (jer 17:21)
" Any one who hits his parents will be killed" (ex 9:20)
Should Jesus be punished for treating his mother badly? as I know, he wasn't punished .
Did any one tell him to call his mother, mom or the mother of Jesus? Unfortunately no one.7
