What is the religious defense of this Jesus Christ quote?
July 22, 2024 at 10:12 am (This post was last modified: July 22, 2024 at 10:12 am by Disagreeable.)
Quoting from the bible, “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. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household." - Jesus Christ, Matthew 10:34-36

How would theists defend Jesus here? It's my favorite biblical quote when I want to point out that Jesus is a dick.

Don't worry about death;

What is good is easy to get,

What is terrible is easy to endure
