If someone said he has not brought peace but sword but he never used a sword neither support the use of swords among his friends then you need to use your common sense! wink

He is referring to bringing a message that would set unbelievers at variance with believers.

Mr Man/Woman, you don't have the holy spirit!
Let me interpret it for you!

In Zephaniah 2:12, “You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword,” says the LORD.

So in the above, The LORD aka Yahweh has sword!

But Jesus doesn't have any o! He's the prince of peace but he's one with the father who has sword!

You got Zephaniah all wrong because according to MaxInDHouse, Zephaniah spoke using an idiom. And according to LordIsaac, Zephaniah was referring to bringing a message that would set unbelievers at variance with believers in Ethiopia.

You mean The Ethiopians Wil be slaughtered by setting unbelievers up with the believers just like the last election wey Muslim-Muslim were being fought by most Christians?

Na sword be that?

Anyways, it's okay o!

See another sword below:
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns[diadems].

He has a name written on him that no one but he himself knows. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
(Revelation 19:11-16 NIV)

So why did he not just keep his war in his town why bring it to Africa which led to Africa being behind Europe in science and technology when Egypt and Mali had advanced technology as of that time but are now lacking behind as your prophet did not keep his war to his own town but brought it to Africa.

Do you mean Muhammad brought all the wars in the old testament?

Was Muhammad involved when Hitler killed Jews?

That American shooter that killed several people was he inspired by Muhammad?

Think na!

Did the Old Testament take the wars outside of Isreal. The wars in the Old Testament were kept within Isreal and was not taking to Europe, Africa and Asia. But can you say the same of your prophet.

But Muslims say it's fake that Hitler killed Jews

Think na.

The Sword is God's judgment which brings disaster to those who are against Him. undecided
5 “Give this message to the people of Judah: Tell everyone in the city of Jerusalem: ‘Blow the trumpet all over the country.’ Shout out loud and say, ‘Come together! Let us all escape to the strong cities for protection.’
6 Raise the signal flag toward Zion. Run for your lives! Don’t wait! Do this because I am bringing disaster from the north. I am bringing terrible destruction.”
7 A lion has come out of his cave. A destroyer of nations has begun to march.He has left his home to destroy your land. Your towns will be destroyed. There will be no one left to live in them.
8 The Lord is angry with us, so put on sackcloth and cry out loud!
9 The Lord says, “When this happens, the king and his officers will lose their courage. The priests will be filled with fear, and the prophets will be shocked.”
10 Then I, Jeremiah, said, “Lord God, you have tricked the people of Judah and Jerusalem. You said to them, ‘You will have peace.’ But now the sword is pointing at their throats! - Jeremiah 4 vs 1 - 10

Jesus is the OWNER of the teaching so what he said about tearing families apart has affected me too so how do you expect me to say what the owner said when the command he gave me was to make peace with everyone? undecided

You are the one so dumb, if not you should able to knock on people's door and tell the what your master Jesus you so believe in has told you. Next time you knock on people's doors tell them the truth as you master Jesus has told you that [you did not come to bring peace, but a sword].
Also [tell them to sell their cloak and buy a sword] like your master Jesus has told you.

There you go again reading without grasping!

@ Matthew chapter 10 and Luke chapter 22

In those verses you quoted Jesus was talking to his own disciples not preaching to strangers and the sword he told them to buy isn't physical swords otherwise it would have been on record that Jesus disciples also killed people! smiley

When common sense is missing!

In a book you read about a man saying he did not bring peace but sword so you concluded that he must be responsible for killing but the same person commanded his disciples never to raise weapons against anyone and there is no record of his disciples fighting people with swords.
All these is RECORDED in the same book!

How come an intelligent person failed to grasp that the man in question never meant physical sword is what really baffles me. undecided
