why "peace on earth" when jesus said "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34)

peace on earth will be possible when only love and respect to each other take place instead of religions.

Greetings!
Well, this sword that Christ, not " Jesus," motioned is not a sword at all. Christ was talking about the Light. To spread the Light of Love. Peace on Earth begins within us. When that is awakened and allowed to shine in our outer world, the world will be a Peaceful place. Christ gave us this Universal knowledge so we could pass it on and create an peaceful world for the future. But now its 2007-into 2008 and we have to put action behind these teachings it we are to create it.
Blessings

Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luk 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Jesus came to earth to preach the word of God which was written in the bible. to teach righteousness.

The Old Testament said the Messiah would bring peace and Jesus will this next time, but not the first time. The first time Jesus brought men a great gift . . . the gift of Salvation.

As long as the world follows satan, the world will never find
true peace.
True peace of mind and heart, can only be found in
Jesus Christ as ones personal Saviour.
