Of course we are not to sow evil work. But neither are we seeking to bring about any world peace. You understand that satan is quite busy wanting to accomplish that. Why do you think the antichrist will force a mark upon people. To make clear the division.
And, like it or not, as a Bible believing Christian, you will be seen as evil, and doing evil work.
Jesus Christ is what is offensive about us. He divides.
Our message, the Gospel, brings peace with God to the individual, yet at the same time it divides.

You still haven’t said what Luke 11:23 Means to you: He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Romans 16:17-20
[17] Now I beseech you, brethren,
mark them which cause
divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. [18] For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. [19] For your obedience is come abroad unto all men . I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. [20] And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
“God of Peace” ...overcome evil with good. How does God bruise Satan under our feet. Isn’t it Love?
Confusion, confounded, to scatter into all the nations...Jeremiah 15:3
[3] And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord : the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
All the focus is on destruction. But to stop at destruction is to stop short of the restoration of God which is collect that which is broken. That is what I’m harping on and the reason for this thread: our God is a God of restoration. He doesn’t end at destruction. He tears down in order to build up anew. It is who He is.
Mark 9:38-40
[38] And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. [39] But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak
evil of me. [40] For he that is not
against us is on our part.
Luke 11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me
scattereth.
Do you (we) gather, or scatter?
