Division
Division in the family unit is one that goes on for eternity, and Jesus states it clearly.  Every human has a right to do and believe in what they wish, and no one can stop them.  If a child moves towards Christ at an early age, and the elders don't, what right does the elders have to stop a child in that belief?  It's a tricky situation, as the beliefs a chid may take up can also be very dangerous.  So when do the elders step in?  That's a legal question, and should be answered by God himself!!

What division is Jesus intend to bring about?
    Jesus is saying that father, mother and son will disagree with one another, for instance my father (akanvese) was woshing gods so when i gave myself to Christ he was not free with me again. Even the Bible said if you want to followe Me (Christ) you must deny youself, father and mother and take the CROSS and followe Me.

I'm not really sure why Jesus wanted to divide family members other than to cause them to seperate from each other. Because what he says: Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division. Thank God for his mercy. Amen!

Jesus brought about the devision of fire. This means that Jesus came to serve all mankind . Jesus baptises with the spiritual fire of the Holy Spirit after that the devision comes about as follows: three agaisnt two, two against three, father against son. son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother in -law against Daughter in- law , Daughter in-law against mother in law. The devision will be like that because of spiritual understanding. However, our God is not the God of confussion and He wants us to live a reghteous life. ( Romans 14 Vs 17)

Not Peace but Division

"I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled. But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division. For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

Luke 12:49-53
