A Second Piece?

Well, I haven't received any comments on "A Piece of Peace" so I guess I'll just follow it up with what I believe the Bible is teaching.

We know that the Bible does not contradict itself. Yet we see Luke saying that the angels said "peace on earth, good will toward men" when Christ was born. Later Jesus said "think not that I am come to send peace on the earth". How do I reconcile these?

Christ came to bring peace between God and man, not between man and man. If we wholeheartedly follow Christ we have peace with God. Unfortunately, this does not bring us peace with other men.

Who do you want to be at peace with today? I know whom I have chosen. Division may be coming.
