These “faith based” people always seem to ignore the fact the Jesus knew and allowed peter to carry a sword.

Yes he told him to put it away when Perter attempted to defend Jesus, but note he did not prevent him from carrying one. That is a very important distinction!

Nothing in the bible is by accident.

With Jesus, the use of force, even in self defense, was a no-no.

Did Jesus not also say that if you have a cloak, but no sword that you should sell your cloak and buy a sword?
