“We are too Christian (and that remark is intended to make you think).”
We submit too much to modern progressive tainted doctrine. After all, Jesus wanted his apostles to buy swords and defend him. But they were lulled into a slumber just before the kiss of Judas — only Peter bought a sword.
“Live by the sword/die by it.”
He did not come to change the Scripture, only to fulfill it:
Ecclesiastes 3:3: “... a time to kill ...”
Jesus saw no point in Peter getting himself killed due to being greatly outnumbered, especially since He finally understood what His Father wanted Him to face.
We have been lulled into a slumber ourselves. But this time, rather than buying swords we can amend the Constitution.
That is a cockamamie take on theology.
Jesus, who had rebuked Peter about trying to get Him to not go to the Cross, now is telling His disciples to mount an armed resistance to stop said Cross, sure.
