If someone were to try to convert a home invader (a vile criminal) WHILE the criminal is in the middle of abusing their child, they have missed the whole point.
We can defend ourselves and the helpless.
(though there is a fine line and we ought to definitely live in peace with all, even when wronged)
When people paint with such large brushes, the pictures are without detail and make for a weak overall image.

God wouldn't have you ignore the helpless in need when you can help.
People will probably try to take verses out of context to say otherwise, but no. You have the right idea.
If someone were to be very rude to you and even threaten you with death and open hand slap you in disrespect, this person certainly would qualify as an enemy. To love them is to want their best, this can include them to learn and grow from their mistakes.
Something like this should be handled by the local authorities.
If this same person ignored a restraining order, broke in your home and started to rape your daughter.... ya
You ought to defend the helpless in love. If this enemy dies, it doesn't even mean it was done out of spite.

2 timothy 3
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Psalms 82:3
“Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.”

There need not be a drop of malice, in physically defending a child from a rapist.
Wouldn't qualify as how violence was used in scripture.

Just another false accuser, lol I see why you stopped responding.
Every single post of his I have read contained one or more
false accusations
assumptions
strawmen
objectively incorrect statement
I will follow your lead.🙄
People like that will always try to get the last word. Fruitless.
