Have we strayed?
The OP is why households are divided.
The Biblegod is a reflection of man's fall.
It is impossible for God to lie. Not tell a lie. But do a lie.
So God the Creator does not create anything if He does not want to.
And because his anger can flare up sometimes the created thing is not so much for wanting. (Psalm 2:12)

"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him."
I looked up Matthew 10:34. "peace" means "peace of mind". It is the kind of peace that is promised in connection with thinking ability. It has to do with wakefullness, being aware.
