A person can read verses in a Bible, but that does not mean that they have placed those verses on the inside of them. Think Parable of the Sower.
But what if God says not to kill in His Word? Would you just disobey God anyways? I sure hope not. God is the giver and taker of life. All things work together for good to those who love God. Nothing can happen in this life without God's say so.
Why do certain folks who go against our Lord's teaching on Non-Resistance think that the teaching of Non-Resistance equates with doing nothing? Surely we can restrain our attackers and tell our family to run. There are also other non-violent ways to escape a violent situation, as well. All these things have been addressed already in the thread. I would advise you to read through the thread instead of diverting the topic of this thread.
God said not to murder. Self-defense is not murder. Protecting those God put you in charge over is not murder.
I'm not the one that posted your thread, you did and I am the OP for this thread as well. I can continue this if I choose.
I will continue to disagree with you.
