Should Christians Defend Themselves? - September 17th, 2012, 04:13 PM

Jesus never defended Himself from physical harm, other than when He either disappeared or walked through walls. Christians are to follow Jesus. Should Real Christians ever use force to defend themselves against harm coming towards them?

Lol. I am thinking there are a lot of Christians who should go ahead and try to walk through a wall. "Ka-Bonk!!" Lol.

Answer up with facts and with Scripture.

That just show how little you know about Christ.

(( WE )) defend Christ our King, not ourselves. There's no way you can get thru me to my Christ.

The answer is no real Christians who've sold everything and are following should ever defend themselves but they should give up their lives for those in their care.

Good questions ...Keep them coming. tWINs

Is this what you are looking for?



Luke 22:35-37

King James Version (KJV)

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36 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.

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.





He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Jim Elliot

Lu 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying,

And what shall we do?

And he said unto them, Do violence to no man,

neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

--Nothing wrong with Defending yourself against Harm.

Learn Judo , Jujitsu, Karate, Wrestling, Taekwondo etc and be prepared.

"The things concerning me have an end." So, that means we should not use Jesus as an example for our lives. I see, now, why Pentecostalism came into being.

Lol.

Your efforts and desires are misconstrued, because I already have come to Jesus. Too late! Lol.

Besides, you have no position or authority to decide who should be "kept from Jesus." Lol.
