He convinced the mob not to stone the adulterer [John 8]...The followers of Nice Jesus love to quote the 'throw the first stone' verse...

Both verses are likely forgeries. They only appear in one manuscript that was written later than the other manuscripts we have that contain the book of John. The earlier manuscripts do not contain these verses. Research "Pericope adulterae" to find out more.

While we're often reminded that Jesus said 'live by the sword, die by the sword', we seem to ignore his other sword references. Like when he told his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy a sword [Luke 22].

The verse in Luke 22 precedes the event that caused Jesus to say 'live by the sword, die by the sword'. He wanted to use the swords as a lesson and to fulfill prophecy. He himself mentions the prophecy in Luke 22:37. The lesson was to not fight, because Christians have no need to fight, because their kingdom is not of this world.

Everything else this anon said is fine.

100% on the Pericope Adultury.

It says Jesus wrote on the ground with his finger in the Second Temple... the STONE ground. John (or the author of John) would have lived and visited the area of the 2nd temple and known it was stone, but the forger who wrote the Pericope Alduterae 500 years later obviously had never been.
It uses word choice that isn't present anywhere else in John, or the books with the same author.
If you read the end of John 7 and skip over the to John 8:12, you notice that it flows much more sensibly instead of having some bizarre backtracking for no reason.

Once you know to look, it's an obvious forgery.

Do you think that "don't fight, because your kingdom is not of this world" wasn't the lesson that Jesus taught?

Or are you just lamenting the consequences of this teaching?
