Should I buy a sword?

[Justified]

Christ's command to be armed, ready to kill if need be

Where is that command, exactly? I’ve searched the whole NT and can’t find it.

 

[Wrangler]

It isn't breaking God's laws to defend those under attack by evil.

Including, especially defending oneself when under attack by evil. The defense must be appropriate to the attack, be it moral seduction or physical. Swinging a sword when Satan is encouraging our hungry Lord to change rocks into bread isn’t an appropriate defense.

Quoting Scripture when Satanists are trying to chop your head off is not appropriate either. Following Christ means sometimes it’s time to get physical, buy a sword, flip over tables at the market, whip at people.

True.
Jesus commanding his Disciples to buy swords nullifies the implied ideology that God is a pacifist.

If that were ever true he wouldn't have armed his Disciples. And his people in the Old Testament and have commanded them to war in his name.

Acts 5:1-11Ananias and Sapphira were struck dead for lying to the holy spirit.

Interesting, Deism upholds a passive God.
Whereas Theism upholds an active one.
