Matthew 10:34-35
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Discuss.
Human existence is one long episode of the crime channel. It’s shocking how many people kill relatives for the pettiest of reasons.
But life insurance is a one big reason. Child custody is another. Just modern versions of very instinctual, primitive behaviors.
Cheers Jesus has come!
Yawn.
God is a Republican? Heaven help us!
@2,
Was supposed to be Cheeto Jesus.
Smart phone. Dumb human.
Hey, Goldy:
Can we do this one

during DNC convention week?
@5,
so you’ll be skipping Cleveland too?
Looks like the beach is gonna be overcrowded with pale, disappointment that weekend.
Enjoy yourselves!
@6 No gators in Cleveland, but with Global Warming….the question perhaps should be when will there be gators in Cleveland. Any biblical predictions of this?
@1 Well perhaps Jesus was saying he is a revolutionary. This is the Che Guevara Jesus that is speaking to his disciples.
The two passages are separate and the word used in the King James version is variance. So children and parents and vice versa are going to argue.
What Jesus is saying here is that if you follow him you put him first in front of family, in front of the state, in front of friends, in front of being Democrat or Republican. You follow him and no other.
Very very revolutionary. Could upset the Romans which this philosophy did. So there is a philosophy of separation of church and state and tolerance in some of the gospels and other parts of the New Testament.
Of course when Christianity becomes the religion of the State then that changed things a lot, and warped the idea of separation of church and state and tolerance. Though Roman religion was fairly tolerant, it was more a state religion one of doing things like slaughtering bulls ect and a lot less about faith. Though young men running through the streets whipping women was one of the festivals….a bit weird perhaps. Religion was there to support the State and the State controlled Religion.
So anyone celebrating Summer Solstice? A little id summer fun? How about you Puddy? Going to dance naked? Kiss a Nymph? Or more?
Che was a pretty racist dude. Didn’t like black people at all.
@9,
Well it depends PI. Some libtards will claim Che was young and stooooooooooopid when he wrote the Motorcycle Diaries and want to excuse his “indiscretions” as they do with Willie Female Secretions Cigar Man Clinton and his frequent visits to whites only golf clubs when Secretions was younger.
Fortunately for all of us, Che’s words are not like Christ’s. Christ talked about love. First you love Him and through Him you’ll love everyone else. Che executed approximately 150 jailed prisoners without a trial. That’s communism for you. Another ism loved by DUMMOCRETINS!
Butt as always, Che never retracted those comments when he was older and “wiser” per these same libtards. Puddy cracks up on these so called revisionist history experts! So Puddy rates this as mostly TRUE!
Not a lot of love in Chapter 10 of Matthew.
From his speech to the UN on December 11, 1964:
“Those who kill their own children and discriminate daily against them because of the color of their skin; those who let the murderers of blacks remain free, protecting them, and furthermore punishing the black population because they demand their legitimate rights as free men—how can those who do this consider themselves guardians of freedom?”
Some parallels in there with Matthew Chapter 10
