Sorry if your use of double negatives hindered our communication. You wrote that you did not think that this is not entirely not nuts, which would mean that it is nuts in your perspective. Thank you for the clarification of your viewpoint. Lance wrote: > I do not agree with your analogy either.

You apparently do not understand authority and why Jesus responded as he did. Peter had no authority to raise his sword against that soldier. Jesus was giving the example of submitting unto the authority of the Roman government. In like manner, the terrorists should submit unto the governmental authority over them. Jesus did not blow himself up and the Romans with him. He submitted unto the authority given the Romans by God. When Jesus comes to establish his kingdom physically by subduing the nations of the earth, he will do so with a rod of iron. Do you believe this? Jesus will not tolerate terrorists. Jesus will cast terrorists into the lake of fire without negotiations. Do you believe this? Peace be with you.
