Accept or Reject the True Path For Peace?

This following passage of the Bible is contrary to what many religious leaders are saying about how people become united:

“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,”
Ephesians 2:19-20 ESV

For example, this video message the Pope gave can not bring true unity and peace. It is not based on Biblical truth. The God of Israel is the source of true agape love, and He is not the same as Allah nor Buddah. The children of Allah or Buddah are not the same children as the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who believe in Jesus as Messiah of the world. Believing in the God of the Bible is to believe in Love. The proof of God's love for mankind and method for bringing humanity into true peace and unity to himself is through the giving of his only son Jesus Christ to us. Jesus Christ isn't just one of many ways to become united. He is the only person through which peace and unity will flourish. He proclaimed this about himself on so many occasions. But one area of scripture emphasizes that there is no room for doubt or uncertainty that only He is the Peacemaker on this earth. It is Matthew 10:34-39 which states, "““Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 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 his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”

It's a challenging point to accept but Jesus is leaving no question that he is the only source for peace and eternal life. The following video is contrary to the words of Jesus, and though it appears peaceful and loving it does not proclaim that Jesus is the only way to unity and everlasting life.
