Needless to say, neither God in the OT nor Jesus in the NT said anything about Americans. Rather, Jesus told his disciples to “take no staff,” when staffs were used as weapons (Lk 9:3). And he tells Peter to sheath his sword: “Who lives by the sword dies by the sword” (Mt 26:52). https://t.co/ta9kPcv3R4
