>Ezekiel:
God is punishing the jews for doing devil worship (kinda like what Epstein and co were doing)
>Leviticus:
This is in line with the 10 commandments
Isaiah:
God's punishment to Babylon for doing the same devil worship he punished the jews for in the Ezekiel verse
Luke 6:
You can disagree with someone and still wish them the best. Say family members who hate you for your politics, you should still love them. This is definitely one of the most challenging things Jesus asks of us and obviously only he's able to fully accomplish this.
Luke 14:
This is specifically in reference to his disciples on earth at the time. Many would lead a life of sacrifice and suffer a terrible death. He's being hyperbolic so that nobody who isn't fully committed would need to suffer that.
Matthew:
This is about petty insults and self control. Jesus isn't saying you should let other people kill or grievously harm you.
People who cherrypick verses completely out of context, with no regard for the setting or history up to that point, argue in bad faith.
I've noticed Bernard seems to hate Christians even more than jews.

Your interpretations are different from the ones taught to me in church and school. What most people were taught and believe is most relevant.
Because I no longer believe in jewish fairy tales doesn't mean I hate you. False and destructive beliefs led me and others to live as slaves to jews. I have found European religion that is more true, functional, and inspiring.
> What most people were taught and believe is most relevant.
Relevant from a broken humanity's standpoint, maybe.
Relevant from Almighty God's standpoint is the absolute truth, which nobody alive today really has, but which Christianity is closest to, as seen by its historical prosperity and righteousness despite jews constantly trying to slander it.
And you can call it a jewish fairytale if you like, but just know that whatever you believe is even more of a fairytale, if you want to get into historical authenticity.
