DAVEH: ??? So you are saying that Jesus came to divide the
Christians? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to think following Jesus
would cause a division between the Christians and non Christians
instead?

Even Jesus said:Matthew 10:34-36 (34) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (36) And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. Peace be with you.
