cause if it is - it is certainly not a clear commandment to take up the sword, as far as I can see.

Well our views on Jesus are very different I guess. I understood that he believed in the forgiveness of sins and sinners (and not the blowing away of sinners). Do you really think Jesus's respose to finding a theif in his house stealing his sandals would be to 'blow them away'? Personaly I find it easier to imagine him offering the robbers his cloak as well as his sandals.
