I Come Not To Bring Peace But a Sword

Christ is telling us what the future will be like and the closer we are to his return the more things like this will occur. At his death and Resurrection was the beginning of the last days.

Where do you get THAT context for His remark?

@SomeMichGuy

Here you are again from politics to Christianity, how wonderful.

Do you know the definition of the word prophecy ("THAT").

SomeMichGuy · M

@Charity Inventing a context for verses...

When Jesus says this, all christologies agree that He has been fully anointed as the Messiah of the LORD, right?

So He is speaking for God, correct?

Charity · 56-60

@SomeMichGuy I have never read where Jesus says "all christologies agree that he has been fully anointed as the Messiah of the Lord right" maybe you should reword it.

And you then you say so he's speaking for God right trying to a different topic I see.

SomeMichGuy · M

@Charity No. Do you think that He is speaking for God?

Charity · 56-60

@SomeMichGuy I know where you going with this.

God the Father = In the beginning was the Word and the ""Word was with God"" and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God

God who is the Son = in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the ""Word was God"". the same was in the beginning with God. "And the Word became flesh and dwelled among his own."

Jesus is the SPOKEN Word of our Father / one can say inseparable.

@Charity No, you don't know.

So Jesus DOES speak for God when He says the tagline which begins this?

Charity · 56-60

@SomeMichGuy oh yes I Do

You see by asking that question you went completely off with the post is about meaning you're trying to start another topic. And that topic is about God.

SomeMichGuy · M

@Charity I'm not off topic.

If you believe Jesus is speaking for God, then you should be mindful of the warning of Proverbs 30:6

Do not add to [God's] words,
or [H]e will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

(NRSVUE)

You are adding to the Word by making up a context not in the plain meaning of the text. So you are convicted by this verse.

Stop changing the Word by making up contexts.

@SomeMichGuy I never answered your question as I said I know where it's leading. And you did change the topic.

Nor am I making up scripture I said it as it was written and posted it.

Nor am I changing the meaning of the text.

Christ plainly said a reason why he came, what's going to occur and if it's going to occur that means it's prophecy and prophecy is for the future. As Solomon said "nothing is new up under the sun" and Solomon was inspired by Yahweh.

This Conversation has gone on long enough. Now you believe differently that's your business, believe is you choose. That's why there are so many different denominations of churches and sub-denominations within those denominations, different theology all the meaning of some scriptures. And there are those that don't believe in scripture at all.
