• Yes, The Angels Did Sing “Peace On Earth, Goodwill To Men”, But He Also Declared He Came To Bring A Sword
  “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” - Luke 2:14
  “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” - Matthew 10:34-37
