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.
You understand this ---> utter nonsense
supposedly from the pen of the simple scribe Mathew ?
To my intuitive sense
Santiago , along with the knowledge reading Mathew and
finding him barely intelligible to the nature of "Christ"
in his ramblings and scriblings ....that passage above
has to be one of the least perfect descriptions into the
nature of your teacher you could have quoted .
It is almost as preposterous as Mathew most always was; was not Jesus supposed to be infinitely kind? Even if he was only just ordinarily kind, he certainly would never have wished to turn daughter against mother.
But Mathew was just a simple scribe and not a very enlightened fellow , to say the least . Seems more probable that Mathew was once again trying to put former known writings of the Old Testement into Jesus's mouth , because very little of what Jesus had to say ever really reached the central core of Mathew's brain. It all was just mostly really over Mathew's head, Santiago...Mathew really never did "get" most of what Jesus was trying to say.<g>
Perhaps Mathew was trying to sneek this former passage in
from Micha 7:2-6 , as a way of creating a self-fullfilling prophesy ?
The godly have been swept from the land…For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – a man's enemies are the members of his own household. (Micah 7:2-6)
you do see a similarity between the passages I'll trust ?
