49"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." (Luke 12:49-53)People who think that Jesus was merely a moral, "good" teach obviously have never read this. What "good" teacher by the world's standards say things like "I have come to bring fire on the earth," or "Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division."
He indeed came to bring division, because once we accept Christ as our personal Savior, we are dead to this life and born again in a spirit-filled life. And once that happens, we are aliens living in this world.
