Give the devil and his mainline evildoers no quarter. Christ says to buy a sword. He means for us to use it.
...so, you’re going to go about running swords through he midsections of people as they come out of church...
...sounds like a plan, I guess...
No, silly. We are not going like lambs to the slaughter. Christ did so because He came specifically to give His life as a ransom for many. I believe He wants us to resist and, if necessary, to fight. That’s when we will use our swords (weaponry) to defend ourselves.
