cause if you didn't know that was the sermon on the mount

Yeah, of course, he said all those things. But in the same sermon, he said he didn't come here to abolish the old law, but to fulfill it.

In other instances, he also said didn't come here for peace, but with the sword.

And he also cursed the cities of Bethsaida and Korazin to Hell.

And he also said he was going to turn families apart.

It's almost like the text is made by different people and has a shit ton of contradictions, but still successfully instills fear in order to make people believe.

no that is you not reading it to actually understand it but wanting it to say things that allow you to criticize it

for example, where in the new testament do you read of the early church using a sword? you find 1 time where Peter cuts the ear of a man and Jesus rebukes him telling him not to fight
the rest of the new testament we find the disciples are martyrs who did not fight back
so did he really say his followers would fight with a sword?

Ephesians 6
17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.


but just reading the actual passage you are referring to anyone with grade school level reading can see what he means

Matthew 10
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.

cause you see cherrypicking is what most people trying to point out quote un-quote "contradictions" do

you forget about the context in the previous verses?

20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

So a literal sword? No that is terrible reading comprehension. It is a metaphor of division in a household. That brother who is delivering his brother to death because why? Because Jesus followers shall be hated of all men.
