Yet have you ever wondered why Christ had never told Peter not to carry a sword prior to this.

That's not the point. No one is arguing that Christians should be pacifists or that they should refrain from defending themselves. Some here are projecting their own bloodlust by saying that killing one's enemies is not only not wrong, but what God commands of us. And I'm sorry, that is not true. Christ came to preach His message of salvation, not the politics of the Republican Party or the NeoCons.
