That does not answer Hilda's question, Bobert, because what that dear man would have done doesn't have to do with hilda's situation. Even one of the earliest pacifists was attributed with saying the following:


Mt.10:34
    "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

Lk.12:51
    "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."

Lk.22:36
    "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."

It's all in the context, Bobert. IMO
