I seek no keys, I quote the Scriptures . The separation and the conflict comes because of those who will not believe and accept Jesus.

""Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Mat 10:34 NIV)
"For I have come to turn "'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--" (Mat 10:35 NIV)
"a man's enemies will be the members of his own household[1].'" (Mat 10:36 NIV)

David
1 "household": Micah 7:6

""Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;" (Mat 10:37 NIV)
"and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." (Mat 10:38 NIV)

"I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." (John 12:46 NIV)

My note- notice, 'stay in darkness' implies they are presently in that darkness.'

""As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it." (John 12:47 NIV)
"There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day." (John 12:48 NIV)
"For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it." (John 12:49 NIV)

Your words ' Anyone wishing to be in harmony with God must tear down the temple and rebuild the house upon the spirit. And anyone who does so shall have earned the title of Lord and Master of his manor.' Well, The Bible speaks of a spiritual house made up of Christians, living stones, and Jesus as the cornerstone placed by God.

"Come to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God's temple. He was rejected by the people, but he is precious to God who chose him." (1 Pet 2:4 NLT)
"And now God is building you, as living stones, into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are God's holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices that please him because of Jesus Christ." (1 Pet 2:5 NLT)
"As the Scriptures express it, "I am placing a stone in Jerusalem, a chosen cornerstone, and anyone who believes in him will never be disappointed."" (1 Pet 2:6 NLT)
"Yes, he is very precious to you who believe. But for those who reject him, "The stone that was rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone."" (1 Pet 2:7 NLT)
"And the Scriptures also say, "He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that will make them fall." They stumble because they do not listen to God's word or obey it, and so they meet the fate that has been planned for them." (1 Pet 2:8 NLT)
