<div>I'm not sure what "lie" you think you have caught me in. I suspect it manifests itself only in your mind and as such I'll simply move on.</div><div> </div><div>Citing Matt 26:52 from various and sundry different translations does nothing to bolster the argument that it can be applied in any way to the current discussion over firearms. If the passage you cite were to be taken literally as you imply, Jesus would be in absolute error. Many people "live by the sword." Police, security guards, soldiers, professional hunters, and just plain people who are firearms enthusiasts all live by the sword, most do not die by it.</div>
<div> </div><div>Let's, for the sake of expediency, assume that the passage means exactly what you are trying to say it means. Thank you for the heads up, I'll take my chances, now go pound sand. As someone who has been a major proponent of church/state separation, I have to wonder why you even bring a bible passage into the discussion no matter how poor your understanding of it.</div>
