He didn’t only say that – he also said that he would create disharmony within families, and he told his disciples to sell their cloaks to buy swords. I think the confusion arises because he is alleged to have been someone and something he wasn’t – the Son of God. Personally I think he was a man (possibly the rightful King of the Jews) plotting rebellion against Roman occupation – which is why the Roman’s crucified him. He was a trouble maker. If you remove the magic and mystery, it all makes very good sense.
Incidentally, as far as I can tell, Jesus had no intention of becoming the figurehead of a new religion. He was always a Jew, and as such would have been appalled at what has been manufactured in his name.

How about addressing the point of the OP, rather than cack-handed attempts at point scoring?
The idea that you can have any kind of foundation for calling other contributors here hypocrites, when you continually refuse to amend or change your policy of intellectual dishonesty, of lying for jesus is staggering.
Your posts epitomise the worst instances of cut and paste practice.
No attribution of the cut and paste.
Passing off the works of others as your own, and your inability to defend the points raised in the cut and paste screed you have posted.
You routinely refuse to offer links to the original source of your cut and paste efforts, thus denying readers the opportunity of assessing the value of the source itself.
When reduced to your own words, you are mostly incomprehensible ( which, to be fair, might be because english is not your first language) or petty and vicious.
Whatever else you are, goodlife, you are a poor exemplar for anyone seeking wisdom or any positive benefits of being a believer or JW.
