Why would God Intelligent Design his Perfect Book written by his Chosen Goat Herders to have a passage like?

Question

Matthew 10:34?

Answer 1

According to Deuteronomy 22: 5 A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.

See, god KNEW that all that crossdressing would lead us astray.

Answer 2

Why don't you read the whole passage? It is perfectly clear that Jesus is talking about commitment.

Verse 34 is so true. Actually, your question (which is not a question at all) proves the verse, namely that those who follow Him should know that they will be attacked, in this case by (a pretty weak I might add) attempt at ridicule and uninformed insult w.r.t goat herders. So thanks for helping me strengthen my faith, because you really do.

This passage is not a problem for Christians at all. Really, there are much more seemingly difficult passages in the Bible that I would have thrown out if I were you.

Answer 3

Keep in mind that every religion believes that God fights for them and is on their side. The Jews think they are the Chosen People of God, as do the Muslims, as do the Christians, as do the Hindis, as did the Assyrians, the Babylonians, etc. But the truth is, if God exists, He is on no one's side. God is above everything including human concepts of good and evil. God is uncomprehensible to the small minds of humans. So people make up humanistic attributes for the Great Deity. No one should really believe that God wrote the Bible, because He didn't. If people truly believe that, they are uneducated and satisfied with simple, mystic answers to the great questions of the universe. Rather, if anything, the morality presented in much of the Bible and other great works of religion are the writings of inspired humans. Can we say that God wrote Mozart's music? No. Did he inspire Mozart to write music? Possibly. Did God give Mozart the ability to write music? Possibly. But who can prove it one way or the other? No one. And so it is and will always be a matter of faith and belief.

Answer 4

To confound Nimrods (Genesis Chapter 11) so that they cannot understand the difference between goat herders and sheep herders, or the false from the true (Matthew 10:34)

Answer 5

In answer to your question about Matt. 10:34
34 ¶ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

What He means is is comes with the Sword of Truth to slay The Dragon, the serpent of old, the devil, for he is a liar and the father of it. See Revelation.

Rev. 20:1-3
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, Gen. 3.1 which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season

and John 8:41-44

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Answer 6

The New testament was not written by the chosen goat herders, it was written by self appointed preachers who preferred to live off others than to do real work.

Answer 7

Why is this passage is invalid? And with all the wars we have in the world perhaps there is a little truth there?

However, the Word of God is called a "sword" so the passage is likely speaking of the conflict that it will create. You are proof that is true.

Answer 8

Because of when you read Matthew 10:33 and Matthew 10:35

Answer 9

The multiplicity and type or perhaps contradictory interpretations of Scripture truly have little or not something to do with the question of beginning. enable me supply you an analogy. We’ve seen all styles of interpretations of usa shape, yet even although political events and different judges have different perspectives of what the form says and potential, and what it meant, none of that difference of opinion casts a shadow of doubt on the source of the form. all of us comprehend who wrote the form. all of us comprehend the place it got here from and what it is. human beings get dismayed through the ameliorations of opinion as to what the Bible teaches. If we set up that the Bible is the be attentive to God, basically 0.5 the conflict is over. the subsequent ingredient we ought to continuously decide is, what does it say? do we agree on what it teaches? Is in certainty what the Bible teaches, and you compromise, then you definately will substitute your view considering the fact which you have self belief that that's the be attentive to God. many all and sundry is bothered through the certainty that the Bible has fallen right into a view of relativism, which thoroughly destroys the authentic significant of Scripture. it is somewhat confusing for us to locate the right interpretation, and we'd be discouraged through each and all the disagreement approximately it, yet element of the reason we combat plenty relating to the translation is that all of us agree that it’s had to comprehend the be attentive to God wisely.

Answer 10

Because he understood that there are people who have nothing better to do with their time than find a forum where religionists come to discuss religion, and these atheists bash them the whole time they're here without provocation.

Last night I drew out about 40 of them. Among them were some of the dumbest and rudest people I think I've ever encountered.

Jesus can't be blamed because people act this way. Rather, as I pointed out last night, they do it of their own free will.

Smart guy, that Jesus.
