Should Christians Defend Themselves? -

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.
Paul -- 091712
---Gal. 4:16.
---"Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth"???

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

Reason: removed n from never
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.

"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.
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.
Do you really think that a Christian, ( Or ) Jesus Christ acts, or acted the way you do?? --- Maybe your false christ does!!! --- Now choke that down!!!

---"Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth"???
By keeping the likes of you from Him!! And you are nowhere near Jesus!!

I don't think "shelli's" problem is a false Christ. She hits on some notes but they come from the bottom/basement/...get my drift?
