Couple Defends Home against Trespassers

Self defense is biblical, do you have a wife, a daughter are you telling me you would not defend them against being assaulted?

Being persecuted for our faith is different than self defense... there are many cases in scripture where people defend themselves.

Jesus’s disciples carried swords, even after three years of traveling with Jesus.

And Jesus told his disciples not to use their swords EVEN WHILE HE WAS BEING ARRESTED. I know what Jesus taught, so your rationale holds no truth. I am ignoring you and the others on this thread who have decided to take the law into their own hands instead of following the teachings and life of Jesus Christ.

May God have mercy on your soul!!

when the police do not respond, as has been happening, there is no law

when marauders canvas private neighborhoods hoping to do harm and the police do not stop them, there is no law

when buildings are burned and looted there is no law

when police cars are vandalized there is no law

when hooligans throw bricks and bottles and incendiary devices at police there is no law

when a mayor cancels the police and then pays for private protection for herself from public funds, there is no law

I could go on, but I don't think you are much of a listener

personally, I don't feel sorry for anyone shot trying to invade a private house to cause bodily harm or steal. that person is doing the will of his father, the devil

you do not have to shoot to kill, but, if you are charged by a knife wielding individual, I would say that individual gets what they are asking for

Do you have the book of Revelation in the back of your Bible? For that matter do you have a Bible?

Read what Jesus does to His enemies. Read the Old Testament. Alot of killing goes on at God's directions. You are interpreting scripture to create a false narrative. Read what Paul wrote concerning the end of those who thumb their noses at God. Read Romans 1.

You are way out of line and trying to make God sound like a simpering coward. Guns do not have to kill. If you say guns are only for killing, once again you are creating a false narrative. If a policeman is a Christian and he/she shoots someone, in your story he is sinning? There is no sin for him if the shot is warranted and no sin for the person using a gun for the same reason.

I would like to see someone like you stand by while his family is molested, his wife raped and perhaps killed while you recited 'Our Father' from the side. Protecting oneself is a natural reaction. Denying that reaction indicates something lacking in your understanding both of scripture and the natural desire of a man to protect what is his.

Why don't you try reading your Bible, particularly the New Testament? If you have no faith and don't trust God that is your problem, not mine.

To do nothing is sin when faced against pure evil.

I listen to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, not people who go against his teachings. He said to love your neighbor as yourself and to turn the other cheek. Anyone who disagrees with Christ and takes matters into their own hands instead of trusting God may call themselves Christians but they are not.

And your Scriptural references for these statements are ..?

If you can't cite the Bible teachings for your views, I don't think that anybody on ChristianChat cares what you post. I certainly don't.

Yeah apparently Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a bad person. smh

So un-Christian to try and prevent millions of deaths.

Isn't it though? Apparently King David was a bad dude too.

Watching the news now. One of the people in the crowd has a sign that says " respect us". Rather rich considering they broke the law by busting down a gate and trampled on private property, threatening the home owners. They were 100% in the wrong and the couple was within their rights to defend themselves and their home. Anyone with half a brain can see that.

It wouldn't help. Others have flooded in with Scripture. You will ignore or deflect. Doesn't matter. As long as you can consciously feel good about letting the innocent die then you have that freedom. I'm just thankful most do not.

I believe in the fairness and judgement of God. It's unfortunate that you, out of fear, disagree with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

This is always good to know but under civil unrest and if the police are gone, it will be survival. Many of the liberal self-defense laws only hurt the innocent.
