Hence, if you were to physically attack me and mine, you can rest assured that my double-edged sword would fully and vigorously be defensively applied accordingly !!! Got it ???

Since I never threatened you, no, I don't get it. Your statement was all the same my double-edged sword is drawn and ready for application as Our Heavenly Father may direct . That doesn't sound much like self-defense to me. Please excuse me if I'm mistaken. I have no problem with your "sword" being used in self-defense, but I hope that your definition of "self-defense" is the same as mine.

Alpowolf, forgive me someone else has said this already. I haven't read every post on this long thread. But to those who study the Bible, the "double edged sword" is a well known metaphor for the Word of God. It's from Ephesians 6:17: Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God."

No one here is threatening to attack you. For a Christian to "use his sword" means we're going to quote the Bible when the need arises.
