...nor are we a nation divided by innocent selective personal choices.

"...and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in, one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father 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 mother-in-law." ---Luke 12.


"For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." ---Matthew 10.

These are the words of Jesus.  

We just finished celebrating Christmas, and sharing the message: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward all."

So, how do we reconcile promoting peace and having division?
