Bible Question:
This certainly is a powerful verse. It certainly goes together with Matthew 10:34. It seems to me Christ is suggestings his mission on earth is to divide, separate via of the sword, believers from non-believers, the focus here is within families so that they will only follow him instead of one of the false Gods, that of Familism or say Momism. Deut. Ch. 13 seem to say that that the one's greatest honor is to God and not to one's parents and family. Evil is alwalys found within families. It is clear to me that he came to save me from them with a sword. They under the power of Satan had left me too weakened and helpless to rise up and confrount them alone. This was a key verse to my redemption. I would be interested in hearing what others think and feel on this verse and the entire mattter of confronting your family members/ememies with the help of the sword of Christ? Thanks |
Bible Answer: Hi Wallace Howe, Welcome to the forum. Here are the Scriptures as I see them. I offer the parentheses for comparisons. Ephesians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [Literally, blood and flesh], but against..." Ephesians 6:1, "Children, obey your parents in the (Lord), for this is right." Ephesians 6:10, "Finally, be strong in the (Lord),..." Deuteronomy 13:18, "if [for] you will listen to the voice of the Lord your (God), keeping all His commandments which I am commanding you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God. 14:1 You are the sons of the Lord your God; ...For you are a holy people to the Lord/ your God; and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for (His) possession..." John 10:14, "...and I/ know My own and My own know (Me)." John 8:47, "He who is of God hears the words of (God);..." John 8:49, "Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I/ honor My Father, and you dishonor (Me)." Matthew 10:32, "Everyone therefore who shall confess [in] Me before men, I will also confess [in] him before My/ Father who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, (I) will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; *I did not come to bring peace, but a *sword." Ephesians 6:16, "...*sword of the Spirit,..." So I would say that your battle is a spiritual one fought with the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Obey your parents, especially when they are "in the Lord". Consider also the verses of Scripture that talk of belonging to Him. From the heart, Ray |
