"For I came 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 man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it."
Why did Mohammed say this if Islam is a peaceful religion?

Why does everyone say Jesus kille dno one? Jesus is HGod, correct? Did not God flood the entire world, and wipe out entire cities? If Jesus is God, he killed a whole bunch of people.

Religions are nothing but man-made troubles...
Remove religions from GOD... that would be GOD in purest form without man-made BS!

Wrong Prophet. The above was attributed to Jesus:
Mat 10:34 - Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Not that I believe he truly said that - that's what happens after something is translated and altered hundreds of times. Things get made-up.
Anywho - yeah, not Muhammad (pbuh).

Actually Jesus said these words. They are recorded in
Matthew 10:34-39 in the Bible.
Jesus showed that there would be great crises in the families who accepted Christ and followed in the right way. No Christian must permit family opposition to keep him back from serving Jehovah God and Christ, but the Christian must put the love of Christ first, else he would fail to prove worthy.

These are the words of Christ.
Matthew 10:34-41;
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 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.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
He is saying that He has come to call men and women to Himself. If that causes friction in the family, and it would in a Jewish family, then that is the way it will be. If your father or mother means more to you than He does, you are not worthy of Him.
In a Jewish family, if a member of the family leaves Judaism for any other belief, their name is forbidden to be spoken in the household. I have known Jews that have come to believe in Jesus as the Messiah and their family threw out every rememberance of them from the house.

Jesus said it, not Mohammed. And the answer is simple - just read the answers to your question. We are all fighting each other with words, which can be sharper than any two edged sword.

Total dominance?
If you find love and trust in human world, you will not be so readily accept a controversial god. That's why I think religion is just a tool ready to be misused.

Jesus knew that believing in him would cause dissention. People would be fighting over his name, they would use him as an excuse for conquest. He knew the sick nature of the human race. He didnt condone it, he just knew what kind of sickos we are, and told his believers what to expect, they would probably be beaten, dipped in pitch, crucified, and set on fire for believing in him. Many did.

This is the words of our lord Jesus Christ and he killed no one. He taught many things that one would have to understand the spiritual meaning of. I would suggest that you seek the truth and receive the Holy Spirit that you might gain spiritual discernment and understanding. Muhammad had innocents murdered in their sleep.
Edit Unlike Muhammad Jesus who gave us life could righteously require it and Jesus is God that was born a man we refer to Jesus before his birth as God therefore the man Jesus Christ did not kill anyone though as you say could have righteously required the lives of all instead he paid the penalty of death and died in our place.

You just quoted the book of Matthew from the New Testament. If anything, your quote shows the militant side of Christianity, not Islam.
