Re: Hello!

You actually missed the point of those verses. Jesus wants us to love him more than we love our own family. But obviously, this will result in tension between some, because some people won't love Jesus as much as others. This will cause the Strife that Jesus has predicted.

Someone has their wires crossed. I believe I did get the point of those verses and it is you who did not. For you see, I recognize what it is those words actually said, not what you wish that they mean.

Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace, but a sword.

That is exactly what it says.
Came NOT to send peace but a sword. Not to 'save' but to slay. What is basically being said here, and by these verses:


Matthew 10:32-33 32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Is that the jesus of the bible is not willing to show mercy to anyone but those he sees as his chosen. The rest, to him, are worthless lumps of flesh to be quickly slain and then 'discarded' into a lake of fire.
No, grinder, the jesus of the bible and the god of the bible are neither loving nor merciful. The god of the bible is a merciless heartless tyrant, and jesus is definitely a chip off the ol' block.

Seeing as I do not believe in any part of xtianity, I'm not worried about any judgement day or hell, but I still find it amazing that so many people look at the book of their religion....yet never really read it.

You are finally showing some signs of intelligence! Now that you've grasped all that, would you care to explain why it is that you choose to stay unsaved, knowing that the Lake of Fire awaits you?

The Lord tells us many times in The Bible to 'observe'. I suggest that before posting any other "genuine questions" you attempt to become aware of the way He has ordered things.

Ever been up a mountain? It doesn't get hotter as you climb does it?

Heaven will be pleasant in all aspects.
