Why did Jesus say to buy a sword?
Question: (quotation from Luke 22:35-38): Then Jesus asked his disciples, �When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?� �Not a thing,� they answered. He said to them: �But now,� Jesus said, �whoever has a purse or a bag must take it; and whoever does not have a sword, must sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that the Scripture which says, �He shared the fate of criminals ,� must come true about me, because what was written about me, is coming true.� The disciples said, �See Lord! Here are two swords!� �That is enough,� Jesus replied. What did Our Lord mean here?

The genealogy of Jesus

Question: The Gospel of St Matthew commences with the lineage from Abraham to Jesus. This chronology attempts to list all the descendants of Abraham to Jesus. In chapter one, verse 16, it is stated: "Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah." If Joseph, husband of Mary was a descendant of Abraham, was Mary as well? If not, and the Holy Spirit "came upon" (Luke 1:35) Mary, how did our Lord descend from Abraham?

Why can�t it be a simple �yes� or �no?�
Question: So often Pastors, Ministers and Clergy seemingly �dance� around the answers to two questions: �If one lives a good and moral life, helping others, yet never accepts our Lord Jesus Christ, God�s Son, as his or her personal Savior, and that He came down from Heaven to suffer and die for each of us, to purchase our salvation�will he be saved?� I would think with the billions of people that have been born into this life, the answer should be either a simple �yes� or �no.� The second question, �If there are only two possibilities (Heaven or Hell), will an all-merciful and all-just God condemn a person like this to Hell?�
