34. What did Jesus say about peace? Answer: B a. Peace on earth, good will toward men. --This Christmas message from Luke 2:14 contradicts Jesus himself. b. Dont think that I came for peace on earth. I came to start wars. --Are these the words of a good man? Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34) I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. (Luke 12:49-51) These words, by the way, come immediately after Jesus talked about beating slaves. (See Question 33) c. Each person makes their own peace, according to their faith and how they treat others. d. There is no peace apart from God. --Paul sometimes wrote about peace (see Romans 15:33), but this also contradicts Jesus.
