Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Is this not God and his son saying to not live as the world says and to follow him and teach the world, and food will be proved by him?

By taking various verses out of context and stringing them together, a person can make the Bible say, just about, anything. But, this is not the correct way to form a doctrine. By taking verses out of context and stringing them together to form a doctrine, the actual meaning of the verses become skewed/changed to mean something else.

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

The context of Luke 14, is that, Jesus is laying out the terms of discipleship. Here is the meaning of Luke 14:26~~~> www.gotquestions.org/hate-father-mother.html and here is the meaning of Luke 14:33~~~> www.gotquestions.org/count-the-cost.html

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

The context of John 6:27, and surrounding verses, is that Jesus is clarifying that the point of His ministry is spiritual, not material. Here is the meaning of verse 27~~~> www.bibleref.com/John/6/John-6-27.html

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

The context of Matthew 6:25-34, is that, Jesus is teaching us to not worry or be anxious about anything and here is the meaning of Matthew 6:26 (scroll down to #2)~~~> www.desiringgod.org/messages/do-not-be-anxious-about-your-life .

But, verse 33 has a similar meaning to what you came up with by stringing these 4 verses together. Matthew 6:33, 'But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you,' and here's the meaning of it~~~> www.gotquestions.org/seek-first-kingdom-God.html

God is not a God of disorder or of contraditions he wants us to have our priorities right.

We are to honour our parents, work for a living etc, but we are to serve God and glorify him as we honour our parents and work for a living.
