    Jesus is quoted saying, "I came to...divide," and in another place He said, "I came to bring peace." Which is it? What would cause division in families? Division began very quickly after He physically left us. Has this division led to war?

     | 7,724 views

    Division: a declaration of how things will be, rather than an imperative of how they should be.
