I believe we read many things in the Bible the wrong way. It’s easy to read something and say that the Bible means that things should be this way when it is merely saying this is the way things will be.
I don’t think Jesus was promoting tension between people, but he’s saying that things will be this way. His goal was obviously not peace, and he seemed unconcerned that things would not be peaceful when considering the importance of his message.
I think we like to see Jesus with the mentality of a jr. high girl, he likes things that are “nice” that mkae people good people happy and dislikes things that are “mean.” This is far from this truth. I’m getting way of the subject though. I may start another post about that.
