Dear Tessy, Greetings of peace and goodwill.
Thank you for the clarification. But still I couldnt able to understand or compare the Word of God with the explanation given by you. Not Peace but Division 49"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." with love and prayers in Jesus, Sebastian --- Abha Abraham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Sebastian, > > One of the pastors I know had given this > interpretation to this passage.
