Like the Pope, I simply quoted a verse?
Go figure...

You are not attempting to "pervert" a verse. You are simply pointing out a truth of what the Bible says in a way that makes it controversial, and thus those who are "ardent believers" are likely to take offense.
Personally, I think it's funny to see rabid fundamentalists get their panties in a twist when you publicise parts of their "infallible holy book" that they'd rather not have to think about. But that's just my opinion.

"Who said this : [Hitler or Jesus]?
"I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!" ... "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three."...
You are trying to pervert the verse by comparing Jesus to Hitler. You take a verse out of the whole context of God's Word and then you spin it to make it look like the Lamb of God who suffered the shame and pain of death on a cross in order to save all who would believe on Him is on a par with a murderous dictator as if you didn't know. Is that why you have chosen for yourself the screen name of "reptile"?
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

the verse is very easily misunderstood, it will take a fairly long note to explain, i won't do it now, coz i like to move on to other questions as its late here & moreover you are not in the right mind frame. JC only show Himself & His word to those who call out in desperation with a sincere & humble heart.

The perversion lies in the linking of Jesus with an antichrist, Hitler. I think choosing reptile as your name was apropos.
