This FoxNews video is stirring debate about whether Jesus actually promoted violence or not. The video suggests Jesus in Matthew chapter 10:34 is promoting violence! What! One of the main things that's being missed in this discussion is that the division (caused by the sword) is based on who Jesus is! The sword is the Word of God!
"For the Word of God is alive and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Heb 4:12
The division being caused in Matthew 10 isn't the Christians violently opposing non-believers but quite the opposite. Read verse 23 for some content:
"...But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come." - Matt 10:23
As for the references in the video to Joshua in the Old testament; if I would go on a killing spree, I'd be wrong. However, if God directly tells someone to go to battle with a nation, as he did for Joshua, you can believe it is just and right!
