Raising Children In God's Will (160) Chapter 3. How to Raise Children Section 2. Need for Family Education
3) Family Education Through Religion - 1
Did Jesus have a family he could love? Did Jesus love his mother? No, he couldn't. Did he love his father? His father was a step-father. Did he love his brothers? He couldn't love his brothers.
Whom did he love? As the epitome of love, Jesus wanted to love his mother and father but couldn't.
Because Adam and Eve did not learn about love, Jesus tried to teach his mother and father how to live in love. But his mother and father did not listen to him.
To teach love, one must transcend Judaism and the Bible. Because Jesus came as the representative of God, for the father, for the bridegroom, for the brother, Mary's household should have treated him as God's representative.
Jesus should have addressed to Joseph, "Hey, you Joseph!" as Joseph was not his father. He should have addressed to Mary, "Hey, you Mary!" as Mary was not his mother.
They should have received education from him. Did they accept the education?
From a human perspective they were father and son, but from heaven's perspective Jesus was Lord, God's representative, they should have followed his education on the ways of love.
Jesus should have taught his parents, his brothers, and should have told them about the kind of woman for him. Did Jesus give that kind of education? Does it say so in the Bible? It's all about empty rhetoric on how go to heaven. (51-188)
