yes, but, not being God, I cannot turn my tongue into a sword...

The quote from John does not seem applicable.

"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?"

Twelve legions of angels? sounds like real overkill, to replace one sword...

I am as entitled to select the quotes that support my point as anyone. But there are a lot of swords in there, aren't there...
