"The two swords represent two spheres. The physical sword is wielded by kings; the spiritual sword by ministers of the gospel. Busher says, 'Kings and magistrates are to rule temporal affairs by the swords of their temporal kingdoms and bishops and ministers are to rule spiritual affairs by the word and Spirit of God, the sword of Christ’s spiritual kingdom, and not to intermeddle one with another’s authority, office, and function.' The temporal sword was not given to kings to persecute people into a religious profession or act. He repeatedly argues that this never changes anyone’s judgment and fills the churches with hypocrites." For more information about CBTSeminary, visit: https://cbtseminary.org
