Matthew 10:34 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For anyone that does not know red letters means that it was spoken by Jesus Christ. So for all those that think Chrstians should be peaceful I ask why? Now that does not mean seek conflict but we should never back down from what we believe for the sake of peace. We should bring the sword with God's word.
Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
So what if I am hated? They will have to answer for it on judgement day.
If more people followed these Words they would be better off. When I get asked if I believe in God my response is " yes is there a problem that ?" Meaning I will not be challenged in my beleif.
