The last point was, IIRC, because killing a sword-bearer would just cause the sword to get passed to someone else and become a threat again. "Betraying" the sword (by turning away from one's faith) would actually make the weapon itself able to be damaged or destroyed, potentially ending the threat for good.

Dresden FilesThe sword of faith was physically destroyed by the enemy only to be recreated as a freakin' light saber due to the faith of the new holder. Polka Power!
