did Jesus say : "I came to bring fire to the world. Luke 12:49? and how does this preach love ?

Luke 12:49-53

Jesus continued speaking: "I came to bring fire to the world. I wish it were already burning! I must be baptized with a {different kind of} baptism. I feel very troubled until it is finished. Do you think that I came to give peace to the world? No! I came to divide the world! From now on, a family with five people will be divided, three against two, and two against three. A father and son will be divided: The son will be against his father. The father will be against his son. A mother and her daughter will be divided: The daughter will be against her mother. The mother will be against her daughter. A mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law will be divided: The daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law will be against her daughter-in-law." (ERV)

    These emotional arguments do absolutely nothing for the validity of atheism. You should focus on logic and deduction. That's the power that atheism holds.

    For demonstrative purposes, let me take the opposing side of this: This preaches love because Jesus wanted you to teach true unconditional love. He wanted you to lay down your bonds to your family and give everything to him. This is the only way you can know true love.

    You see? Any counter-argument from there out is on the christian's terms which would be arguing whether or not Jesus wanted you to love people or himself more. Your goal should be to build a deductive argument that destroys the foundation of their beliefs. Instead of talking about how mean Jesus is, you should talk about how omniscience is incompatible with reality.

    It as many stuff written in pink can propose many stuff finding on your attitude and the place you're at spiritually. in case you do no longer understand the way, the certainty, then come and shop on with me, i'm going to be your way bathe. Take it from the perspective of the story being in accordance with astrology...the father is residing the place? In heaven! And who has the terrific view of the heavens, however the solar, the Son from the German word sonne, the solar. From a Yoga attitude it somewhat is asserted that God somewhat the, previous area/time is residing in heaven, the only Begotten Son the portion of God that got here out from the particular to be introduction...you could no longer get to the father different than interior the path of the Son - how are you able to assert you like God the father once you do no longer basically like the Son manifested everywhere around you because of the fact the existence varieties and the vegetation and animals and your brothers and sisters, you say you like God yet you do no longer even see God the two present everywhere. And there are probable many different innovations it brings as much as human beings. no person verse has an absolute meaning.

    I'm guessing He meant the fire of the gospel and holy Spirit the spreading the gospel the saving of souls. Think spiritual. He really wanted to be around when the holy Spirit was being poured out on all flesh. But of course He must ascend first according to the Will of God. But, He is with us in Spirit, though bodily in heaven.

    The gospel is like a fire indeed in the way it spreads. The gospel also divides families against each other because not everyone in the family wants to accept it.

    Fire cleanses. Christ burns away unrighteousness to establish true peace to the remnant that remains. This is true love, he gave His Life for His chosen.

    For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself [His] own special people, zealous for good works.

    sigh.....its a parable. Jesus is telling the disciples that He is the truth. He is the light. His mission will cause division and will separate those who seek truth and righteousness from those who do not. The end of this age will come.....Jesus' presence CLEARLY outlines what team you are on. Good luck with your choices. John 10:10 God Bless

    if you think Jesus preaches love only read

    Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war

    He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God

    He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God

    So Jesus preached Jihad as well, so much for the "Prince of PEACE".
