    What happen to turn the other cheek, love your enemy

    and etc. And the skills one must possess to cut someone

    ear off without slicing into ones shoulder. Peter must have

    been a hell of a swordsman. Luke22;49 "Lord, shall we

    strike with sword?"

    Peter was most likely trying to cut his head off. The guy turned his head in time to only lose an ear. As Jesus had no problem with the Apostles carrying personal weapons nor with defending yourself, the WBTS sanctions against the same are baseless. Here in NY we all carry weapons. I personally carry a 7.65 MM Beretta. Welcome to NY; try not to piss us off.

    Td: I am so sorry to re post. The day I posted that thread I

    thought it was taken down. I felt bad for a few

    days because I couldn,t find it, and I tought maybe I broke

    the rules. Thanks, now I can read the comments.
