Mathew 10:34: 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

It's like following the rules of the road when you're in traffic.
You don't fear the bus if you're on the right side of the road.
If you're going in the wrong direction, you better bet your ass you should fear that bus.
