Matthew 8:22 ESV
22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead. ”
Jesus did not leave much room here for debate or tolerance. Today He would be judged by many as unchristian and intolerant. Some consider themselves enlightened and speak of Jesus as a gifted and good man, but not the only way or the way to God. His teaching is viewed as quaint and though some of it useful, he didn't get everything right. His words, which He said were from His Father, can be taken or left.
For many the concept of being a Christian has evolved away from Christ.
His words will stand.
We can argue, but His is the last word.
