Division, not peace…the words of Jesus

I find it interesting how so many of today's religious leaders including the Pope put finding common ground and getting along with other religions above doing what Jesus said.  Jesus himself says he came to make people make a choice.  Either they believe in God and salvation through Jesus….or they don't.  The whole point though is to make people choose.

Luke 12:49-53(NKJV)

“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 

But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! 

Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 

For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. 

Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
