This is maybe too cerebral for me. I'm a simple man. All I know is that Jesus told me to buy a sword (Luke 22:36).

I doubt He meant it for peeling potatoes or chopping wood.

Didn't He also tell you that those who live by the sword die by it?

You can own a sword without living by it. You need the sword in case you meet someone that lives by it.

and even if you do live by the sword, like a dedicated crusader might have, it only makes sense that if you wage a lot of wars you might die in one... doesn't mean it's a useless way to die.

Not even the same thing. Clearly, there were Christian Orders of Knights who are the very reason Europe survived (e.g. The Battle of Lepanto, the Reconquest of Granada, etc.). Christians are NOT called to be doormats to barbarians and subversives.

Dude, you're in the wrong forum if you think you can come in here and trip up anyone with that low-level sophistry.
