When Jesus said that, he meant that his teachings would divide people (he specifically refers to families fighting right after that quote) and they did. What that quote actually means is that he <i>didn't</i> want his ideas to dominate. He didn't want to force everyone to agree with each other (thus creating peace), he wanted everyone to choose whether to accept him or not, even if that created conflict (the sword), because he valued freedom over order. Jesus was actually a radical liberal, even by today's standards.Sufjan McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864125124236140117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762253525038123831.post-72904813850804026962011-12-11T18:49:17.983-06:002011-12-11T18:49:17.983-06:00"I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sw..."I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword."<br /><br />That's when.<br /><br />He wanted his ideas to dominate.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707659429869805379noreply@blogger.com
