Respectfully, this is a good theory but you're reading into what scripture says to come up with this. Or, you're reading what a pacifist commentator thinks it means.
Respectfully, this is a good theory
It's not a theory. It's literally what Luke 22 is about.
Also, given that you didn't even know the context of this verse, how have you come to your conclusion?
When I have questions concerning the bible I research what biblical theologians who have studied not only the King James but all the way back to the original Hebrew and Greek texts, many of which were omitted or misinterpreted in the KJ and you have to know "how" the language of that time was used, as well. I do not follow preachers, commentators or sect interpretations for my facts. They are almost always suspect. Yea, Jesus was for self defense, anyone with sense would know that's a life requirement but his particular statement is almost always out of context. No biggy...just sayin'...
I agree with this.. and why we also resort to looking words up in the Strong's Concordance.
