1) He didnt come here for peace - he was born, sacrificed so we can be forgiven for our sins - that is the whole purpose of Christ's Death and Resurrection. "He came to promote the truth and die for our sins" is what the whole teaching of Jesus is preached around the world.
Birth = Spread Truth (Obviously will cause tensions between people, he was taken by those who he offered to give his truth and placed on the cross - peace cannot come from truth because not everyone will accept it as truth)
Death and Resurrection = To save us from our sins (which he knew he had to do since he wanted to do it as a second chance to humanity)
2) Hi, you gave me a verse from revelations (a book that should NEVER be taken in a literal sense), I gave you the meaning of it - you did not mention any other verse especially the old testament verses where they promote stoning or killing. I answered you correctly, not my fault the "truth hurts" to you l0l.
3) Lmao. Truth hurts as I said previously but calling someone irrational because they gave you a response that you dont agree with is irrational itself . Who are you playing with seriously? You didnt come here to find truth or the meaning of verses, you just came here to prove people wrong no matter what their response is whether it be negative or positive - you just came here to derail and put down people who have a different belief other than you.
Also...."Personal Assumptions"? Honestly? I thought you wanted every day people's opinions and responses about their own views and that you enjoyed them?

You sure dont seem to be enjoying my views and I dont even like going to Church (i.e. not a fan of organized religion and their practices due to politics/money involved) l0l
Edit: If you dont like the opinions of everyday people / average people - feel free to go to a religious forum/site and debate with those people otherwise you are going to get similar if not the same responses.

1) This thread is about HIS teachings. Thus, the ultimate purpose - i.e. sacrificing himself to absolve us of our sins is not relevant.
2) Well you tell me which book can actually be taken literally, if any, and I'll attempt to find quotations from that one. To me, you seem to be cherry-picking what is and is not literal as it suits your argument.
3) You have told me that this is not literal - "I did not come here for peace." How else can you even take this sentence? If someone tells me the earth is flat, that isn't irrational because I disagree - it's irrational because it's bullshit. The same is the case here.
I appreciate rational views. You haven't even begun to bring forth a rational point, let alone an entire argument.
