Are you saying that Jesus did not honor His mother and father?

The bible shows the answer to be no in a couple of places.

Do you know that one of the Ten Commandments is to honor one's father and mother? So, by saying that Jesus did not honor His mother and (foster) father you are saying that Jesus broke one of God's commandments - that is that Jesus committed sin. You may want to rethink your position on this matter.

Are you saying that God is in submission to Mary?

To answer your question, I am not saying that God is in submission to Mary, but that Jesus honored and obeyed (read submitted to) Mary and Joseph during His earthly life. As another poster pointed out above, Jesus returned with Joseph and Mary to Nazareth after they found Him in the temple in Jerusalem. Also, Jesus submitted to Mary's request at the wedding in Cana (N.B. This is NOT meant to be an exhaustive list of Biblical citations of Jesus obedience to Mary and Joseph).

anyone that doesn't hate his mother and father is not worthy of me

You are sadly mistaken and misguided if you think that Jesus hates Mary and Joseph (or His heavenly Father). It is highly likely that you have taken that text out of context.

lol!
the cherry picking of verses is killing me.
I suppose when Christ commanded us to love one another He must have been excluding His parents, and we should exclude ours.
