Luke 22:36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

I'm thinking of armed men in uniform running towards me with advisories in their pockets. That kind of thing.

So you *did* mean "adversaries"?

Just looking for clarity.


Anyways, the New Testament was written by Jesus' followers, not Sun Tzu. I wouldn't expect it to advocate strategies for using lethal force.

Romans 12:18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

I administer lethal force to my advisories in cases such as:

- Embarrassing typos
- Information I want to keep out of enemy hands
- Claims or positions I wish to retract

Other than that, I try to stand by my advisories as much as possible.

Regardless of sides, he has an economical use of words that (as a waffler) I admire.
