To that may I say that anyone that REALLY reads the NT sees beyond the obvious to the real confrontation that was going on between the natural man and the son of God...the battle was pitched..just who would be the gods.

Luk 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
