"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 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. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." Matthew 10: 34-36 As seen clearly in this excerpt from The Bible, Christ was not one to mince his words. Yes, he upset quite a few people, very powerful people, but he never bent, bowed, or compromised his message.
