Matthew 10:35-36 - 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; and a person's enemies will be those of their household.
Jesus has come to challenge the society in which poor people and widows are not taken care of. He has come to explain the law of love. However, there are many that profit from the current system. They will defend it - the Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadduccees. Generationally, we are at war even today.
How can we overcome such divisions? By working to understand our "enemy". By accepting that they have a right to think and believe as they do. They probably have a good reason. Figuring out that reason leads to communication rather than argumentation.
