Matthew 10:34-37 (NIV)
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 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–a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
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."
Many anti-Christian debates have used this passage to expose Christianity and the teachings of Jesus as violent and destructive. Unfortunately, not much else is given attention as to what else Jesus is actually saying in this context.
