Wonder who Christ was speaking to when He said in Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Course one does need to begin reading verse 1 of chapter 12 to find the reason and meat of what is being said. And of course finish the chapter to finish His instruction.
the division is between the believer and unbeliever, to the elect and the lost, between those that do the will of the Father and those who do the will of Satan.
Please read John 17 and 1 Corinthians 1 and tell me if divisions within those that claim the name of Christian is God’s will?
I live in South Jersey and in my town, within a two mile area, we have a Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, SDA, JW, AOG, and 2 “independent” churches. Now, if you think that is what Luke 12 is referring to, i am sure Jesus must be very pleased then.
