Is it hate to fully endorse Christ's words on the matter?


When you choose to misinterpret some and exclude others.

That's what He said of the Pharisees concerning their ways around honoring their parents.
That was one among a list of examples of what he was referring to. His condemnation was for precisely what is today referred to as Judaism, i.e., adherence of the Talmudic religion, which is a compilation of the Traditions of the Elders which have displaced (says Christ), for the Jews, divine revelation.

They used the teachings of the elders (such as Augustine) to get around plain teachings of God in the commandment.
Augustine's statements, like mine, merely endorse the plain (untwisted) words of the New Testament on the question.
