Jesus and His followers weren't armed. Is there any command in the scriptures to arm oneself ?
So is it wrong to defend yourself and your family and those around us? If someone is violently attacking your children will you say to them, "stop that, Jesus and His followers weren't armed."? I doubt it, you will do whatever it takes to protect them.
What about "Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus." They were armed. They had to be and Jesus was okay with that since he said "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." The sword has been replaced with a firearm these days. No difference, we need them because that's what the people who want to harm other people are using.
