I Came Not To Bring Peace?

Just wanted to share this one. This man asked me if he should keep going to church. Exactly what you have foretold is true. I was told to leave in a nice way. I spoke of what I saw. The pastor and his wife thought that I was against them, which is not so at all. I simply would not conform to their way of doing things. My daughter is still part of that. I have a really hard time talking to her. It’s okay. God’s will, will be done. Love, Marianne
P. S. I didn’t think such a thing existed losing family and friends. But it is true.
Hi Marianne,
Yes, we ” will be hated of all men” if we remain faithful to Christ’s doctrine. Christ did not come to this earth to save it at this time He came to save a few now through whom He will save the entire world through the lake of fire. In the mean time, this is what we have to look forward to:
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Mat 10:36 And a man’s foes [ shall be] they of his own household.
Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Keep the faith, Marianne. Because if you “endure to the end,” then this is what you can expect:
Rom 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Rom 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
