Christ said “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.” That’s about priority, not abandonment “Leave everything” was a specific calling to specific individuals, not a universal mandate. Paul distinguished between those called to celibacy and marriage (1 Corinthians 7). You’re weaponizing a particular calling against the general design. Christ upheld family under His Lordship. That’s covenant faithfulness, not idolatry.

No, it was the same teaching as Buddha taught. Attachments are the cause of all suffering is the same lesson as give up everything you have and follow me.
