I at least reference the segment with in the Chapter, instead of just

Last night I started a very high brow Philosophy  Religion course and
find that my Philosophy knowledge is in the null environment.  I can
grasp the authors point being made, I just fail to comprehend the
major supporting references within the paragraphs.  I have to start
somewhere, and the leader is very knowledgeable and has a PhD in
Philosophy so he explains these points for the 1/2 of us that don't
get it yet.

From Today's reading.  Luke 9:1-6

1 And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority
over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to preach
the kingdom of God and to heal. 3 And he said to them, Take nothing
for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not
have two tunics. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from
there depart. 5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave
that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against
them. 6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching
the gospel and healing everywhere.

Jesus is showing us not to use force to get our way.

Jesus is showing us not to use force to get our way.

It's kind of convenient to base a whole doctrine on one scripture.  In this 
case you missed the cleansing of the temple where the shysters were physically 
chased from the premises.  You might also consider that when the disciples were 
sent out after Jesus ministry was over, they were told to take a sword.  How 
very violent in both cases.

There were other cases, but that should get the thought process going.

Cleaning of the Temple, OK let's discuss that.

The force applied was to get attention of those around to see that the
place of worship was foremost a convenience store in it's time.  you
came into the temple and you have to have a sacrifice.  So you can buy
birds, goats,  Now of course the Euro was not available and each
area in Judea as well as Israel had it's own currency.  So you had to
have the money changers so you could buy in Jerusalem.

All in all Jesus was there to show the Jewish leaders that the were
doing it wrong in the eyes of God.  They had corrupted the law to
verify that only they could comprehend it.  Sounds like our torte
system???

Anyway did Jesus harm anyone, or destroy the merchandise for sale?  Or
did he create the show to get people to understand the point he was
making?

Acts was written in the 70's and outside of The Rock Jesus didn't
say much.  ;)  He may have inflicted blindness and then fixed it to
get someones attention and all.  ;-

I'll have to question you on the sword reference.  What passage are

Why?  He'd had multitudes around him for several days. and had the 
attention of all Jerusalem.  

 Anyway did Jesus harm anyone, 
cast out them that sold and bought in the temple,  (Mark 11:15) 
implies violence, but I suppose it doesn't explicitly say so.


 or destroy the merchandise for sale? 
Sounds like it.  Bet a few doves had to be put down:
Mathew:
21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 21:13 And said
unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of
prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.


  Or
 did he create the show to get people to understand the point he was
 making?

   
Why?  He'd used parables and preaching to much greater success.  I think 
it was simply a case of a long day, and a That's all I can stand, I 
can't STANDS no more! moment.


 I'll have to question you on the sword reference.  What passage are

Probably either to  Matthew:
 10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
send peace, but a sword.

Or to Luke:
22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip,
and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him
take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him
sell his garment, and buy one.

 I'll have to question you on the sword reference.  What passage are
 you referencing?

 Probably either to  Matthew:
  10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
 send peace, but a sword.


Out of context it sounds bad, but when you add back in most of context:
35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter
against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 and a man's foes will be those of his own household. 37 He who
loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who
loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and he who
does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 He who
finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake
will find it. 40 He who receives you receives me, and he who receives
me receives him who sent me.

You see that he is saying that I am going to CHANGE the way things
are.  39  40 give us the glimpse of what Jesus is intending.  If we
get the concept we should share it with others.



 Or to Luke:
 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip,
 and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him
 take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him
 sell his garment, and buy one.


This is a heads up to the 12, make that 11.  It was easy for you while
I have been here but after I leave things are going to change.  Be
prepared for a different crowd because you disciples are going to
cause a ruckus where ever you go and people will want to kill you.

I simply was answering your question literally.  Those are the only 2 
sword references spoken by Jesus in the Gospel, so it had to be one or 
both of them.
