217. Does Jesus Really Say He Hasn't Come For Peace But To Bring A Sword?

217. Does Jesus really say He hasn't come for peace to bring a sword?  

In this episode, we explore Matthew 10:34-36 where Jesus seems to confuse us with a statement that sits in contrast to much of his teaching on peacemaking. We will look at how the Jewish teaching technique of Allusion and the book of Isaiah gives us keys to understanding what he is really saying.
