Or perhaps you fellas need to explain why you believe Jesus intended physical swords when in context He was speaking about the gospel and His impending death. Compare what He was referring back to in Luke 22 where He was quoting Himself from the entire context of Matthew 10:9,10. Note particularly Matthew 10:34. Tell me, and remember this is in the same context of Like 22, is that a literal physical sword Jesus is referring to that was going to create a conflict between daughter and mother? Son and father? Note also that Jesus said, think not that I am come to send peace, but a sword, for I am come to set at variance etc.
Jesus is not here saying that the sword is for maintaining peace and defending yourselves as you are claiming.... He is saying the sword is to divide. Just like Paul said to Timothy... Soul, Spirit, bone, marrow.
In Luke 22:37, Jesus is referring to His death and in context with the other passages such as John 20:21 and Luke 10:3. He is taking about dividing the world with truth as his disciples share the good news of the gospel.
Jesus is not saying take up a physical sword then later warning that one who does such a thing will die from it.
Was it a non-physical sword that Peter used to lop the ear off the temple guard when in the garden of Gethsemane? John 18:10 reports Peter cutting the ear off the temple guard. That's a very dexterous move with a sword by the way. Not a move that can be made by a novice swordsman.
The verse where Jesus told his Apostles to buy a sword appears in Luke 22:36

He is the prince of peace but he is no push over, Guns are evil man, its the devils work lol and i never said you cant defend yourself, i never said Jesus said that, a sword is much better than a gun, at least you have a chance at defending yourself with a sword, a gun on the other hand can take you down from over a mile away.
Yes, I know snipers that can very easily make that shot.
If you don't have a sword or a gun, how do you defend yourself against someone who has one or the other? Or even both? A gun as backup, for instance.

And a gun can take you down standing face to face. It is easier to harm yourself with a sword if you have but that for self defense, if you're fighting someone who is highly skilled at sword play.
It is also easy to hurt yourself with a gun. The point being, training, safety, and skill. No substitute for gun safety. No substitute for firearms training.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~PAY ATTENTION - PAY ATTENTION~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ISAIAH 26:V.20-21~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

20 Come, my people,
enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to PUNISH the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
I ask your indulgence please. From whence did you arrive at this understanding: 01 19-2021 is the NINETEENTH DAY of the LAST DECADE of the world of Devil.

Dearest WS,
I'm still waiting to find out what happened to the PURSE, and the BAG. -- Did they take the PURSE to bribe those who came to arrest Jesus; and were there SNICKERS BARS and a PILLOW in the BAG for when Jesus was imprisoned?!?

Funny how people like to pick and choose Scripture as though it could be manipulated by men to confuse and confound GOD. It's not just one or two that are guilty of distorting and manipulating Scripture, but some either think they're smarter than GOD, or that their church doctrines supersede GOD's Word, -- and they'd rather lie to themselves and others, than obey.

I don't get it ... :confused:

With VERY BEST REGARDS,
Bobby Jo

Will the civil war start tomorrow
It seems to me that we first have to see the Military arrest the Fraudulent Election Conspirators and conduct Military Tribunals, and restore Trump & Pence to the Whitehouse so that they can subsequently be murdered in the streets (Rev. 11). And somewhere along this path we should see a war in the Middle East (the battle of Armageddon). Then we should expect the Dems (satan) to conduct a nation-wide enforcement of the Mark of the Beast, and finally -- Global Thermonuclear War.

And then Jesus Returns!

I thought the Antifa left wing mob would be happy about china joe being sworn in. Instead they are rioting.
I don't think Antifa themselves know what they want or why they riot. They're like dogs that have had their butts rubbed until they're all revved up and over stimulated and then they just spin in circles and chase their own tails.

So I guess I'm confused why the FORMER PRESIDENT would retain "the FOOTBALL":

Photos mark the transition of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden
A military aide carries the nuclear “football” with the equipment and nuclear codes to Marine One

What's going on, -- unless President Trump is STILL PRESIDENT and has been INAUGURATED in his own private ceremony??? -- And of course Pence was similarly INAUGURATED in his own private ceremony???

And isn't it interesting that Biden is being refused any MILITARY BRIEFINGS???

... at 14:30 minutes, with the "YAHOO" citation, which is substantiated by:

‘Really quite shocking’: Inside the ugly transition at the Pentagon
Really quite shocking’: Inside the ugly transition at the Pentagon

The effort to obstruct the Biden team is unprecedented in modern presidential transitions and will hobble the new administration on key national security matters.

This doesn't happen to a "New President". So is Biden REALLY PRESIDENT, or is this ALL a FALSE REALITY???
