Not really cutsie...Jesus and other believed the world would be short lived and that Jewish families who chose to follow Jesus would be torn asunder as in war.
Umm...would that be...deconvert?

For the fact that Jesus already knew all the things to happen and that is happening… but come to think of it that the Jesus gave us free will, free will that is much related to salvation but this free will resulted to different beliefs and different religion or just an opinion. Well, free will is not a curse but a gift perhaps a mercy and this is where the battle comes in whether you are qualified to enter heaven or not… as a pastor once said that Jesus loves everyone "EVERYONE" believers or nonbelievers, He loves us equally and we can have our salvation in Him if we would recognize Him as Lord, and we could only be saved through faith and not deeds… so its our choice whether to believe or not, to do good or not (after all He will always love us). Everything that is happening now or will be happening is all about individual’s will.

God, being omnipotent, knew what was to come. He knew that, even after Calvary, that satan would not accept that the war was over, and, in fact, would fight harder for our souls.
If you look at what's transpired over the last 2000 years, you can clearly see the evolution of more religions. You can see how the lines are blurred. You see, satan doesn't care what you believe, so long as you don't believe in a risen Christ as saviour.
With that thought in mind, it's not hard to see how, with so many options to choose from, people may choose what's comfortable, or what fits them, more than what's right. Christ is every bit as factual as 2+2=4 is to me and there are a lot of people who disagree with me on that.
You are correct in your assumption though.

Are you implying had He not given us His word then everything would be different? Had He not written the Bible then people would be asking why didn't He tell us the world was going to be this way. For non-believers God's way is never right.

Jesus knew he would cause Controversy, he knew he would cause wars, he knew people would hate him, spit on him, curse his name, and never accept him.
but he came and gave his life for you anyway so that you could live forever in Heaven with him.
that's Love.
