Resurrection? Sitting at the Right Hand of God for all eternity? Not too shabby, especially for a poor Palestinian radical from BFI.That doesn't mean it is wrong. Look how it ended up for Jesus.

Let me be clear. In no way am I saying Jesus told people to get swords so they could attack someone. The issue is defense. In a dangerous world you have the right to defend yourself from attack. I see guns in the same way. People shouldn't buy guns so they can shoot somebody. People should be guns so they can protect their lives and person.Yeah, but in that instance, he was sending out his apostles in a manner to fulfill specific prophecy. In all other instances, he instructed them to be peaceful. Heck, just a few hours after telling them to get swords, he admonished Peter for drawing his! I don't think that verse is intended to justify using dangerous weapons in self-defense generally.
He wouldn't have used it because he was as Isaiah 53 prophesied about him, "He was lead like a lamb to slaughter". Jesus never defended Himself from His accusers because His death was the Will of the Father. He had to die for the sins of the world.Imagine if Jesus had been packing an AR15 on Good Friday!

And as I said in the very post you quoted, I don't see how those verses can justify the use of dangerous weapons for self-defense.Let me be clear.

Verses 4-5Smith and Wesson
Chapter 3
Verses 6-8
Why would Jesus tell them to get swords? It would be for defense. And when it is for defense then you have to have enough power in the weapon to thwart someone who means you harm. I do agree with you that the chapter 10 passage was exceptional. The Lord for His own purposes had them rely completely on Him, probably for a teaching point.And as I said in the very post you quoted, I don't see how those verses can justify the use of dangerous weapons for self-defense.
If you believe in a right to self-defense, great. I do, too. I just don't see how you can really justify that right with the gospel texts. The purses, bags, and swords section is clearly very specific to that evening's exceptional circumstances.
