I read the passage to hold that Jesus wanted us to be both able and equipped to defend ourselves against the harm of the world; but not to use the swords he bade us buy in his defense.<br /><br />That doesn't license crusades, in the religious sense of the term; and indeed, of all wars they are the hardest to license.

Far more energy, human or petro, has been expended in silly haruspicy of Leviticus than in the driving of SUVs. <br /><br />But please, Dad29, tell us our favorite story again.
