The scripture indeed teaches us to love our families and to lay down our lives for one another. The scriptures you refer to refer to folks who reject their family members beacause they love Jesus. We are likewise admonished to put Christ first even if that means rejection from our family members.
As far as being fooled by the antichrist it is the ones who love Jesus and know His heart that will not be fooled. Head knowledge without heart knowledge will always cause one to fall into deception.
May God richly bless you, love your family with His love, your brother Larry
