John 18:10 KJV
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Peter had a sword. Jesus said put it away, but he never condemned Peter for having it.
Luke 22:36 KJV
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
This is Jesus... he is telling people to sell their clothes if need be and buy a sword.
So how unChristain is it for someone not to own any weapon?
what does Luke 22:38, and Matthew 26:52, say?
