text: The Luke verse is God stating what he will do to his enemies (which God has the right to do) and used in a PARABLE, and the Sword is referring to division, not violence. Nowhere do either of the verses advocate or order Christians to violence. Even your Old Testament verses are out of context and meaningless. If you truly go to a church, I doubt if asking your Pastor is going to do any good based on your method of Biblical interpretation. There is a big difference between a crowd and a church, you clearly are attending the former. And ignorance is, in most cases, blind.
