First Time

[MacFall]

I said mitigating, not exculpatory. I do believe physical force should be reserved for repelling an actual threat to one's safety.

Breaking bones, and I must say my knuckles hurt, but probably so does that guys face.

I've never broken a bone, but I feel for u/ya
I guess I have a bit of a bad temper myself sometimes. I've punched walls, doors, windows, computers, (one time a book/I won't say lol which one), hanked on someone's hair, but I've never broken a bone, & I've never punched anyone. I did get close to punching someone once, but than I didn't. sooo I've grabbed and pushed put that's as far as I've gone. But I try not to do that anymore if possible And I only did that If I was really provoked, but I try my best to just walk away; It's always best in the long run

Remember to walk away next time.
Apart from the fact that it might not only be your knuckles that would be hurting next time, you also achieve very little Spiritual gains from the exercise.

Kind regards

The last time I punched someone was in 8th grade. This guy liked to sneak up behind people and grope their junk. He did it to me, I elbowed him in the face, we fought. I don't know that I "won", but he never did it again.

Sometimes, when no other non-violent solutions work,you gotta be ready to commit violence. That's not to say I like picking fights, I'd never agree with that. But when it comes down to it, a man should be comfortable with violence. Its a violent world we live in.

Good lord, someone gettin homo in junior high? Hope you caved his nose in.

He claimed I broke it, but I think that was only to bolster his case when we were being tried by the Administrative Tribunal. (Ok, it was just the principal and vice principal.) The school nurse didn't think it was broken. In any case, it was bleeding.

Good job lad. Hopefully the homo sexual harasser learned his lesson.

I've had broken bones - 1 obliterated, another a small fracture. I can say it's pretty painful!

As per the fight, we have a right to defend ourselves. I think that if he was just harassing, firmness before anything physical. However, if there is any real or perceived threat, I would not hesitate to get physical. Everyone throws around the verse about turning the other cheek. I have yet heard anyone mention Ex 15:3. God will protect his children. He will go to battle for us! He has beaten satan! He will win the battle of Armageddon!

Yes!! Leave it all to the LORD. Romans 12v19 Vengence is Mine,I will repay,says the LORD.
