When it comes to most rational ideas, like allowing guns in church, democrats, liberals, progressives, etc., are fools. Jesus told Peter to bring a sword (the gun of their time). Fools, I tell you, very foolish fools.
Peter was anxious, and this was Jesus’ concession to Peter. Events proved that Mr. Braggadocio chopped off the centurion’s ear, which Jesus hinted was not a good idea for the sake of the gospel.
