Loading ...There’s many examples of defense in the Bible including the story of David and Goliath. There is also passages of not murdering thou shall not kill. Not acting out in vengeance but difference from defense or warding off evil..The question is what life do people value the most. This life or the eternal life. That question would not only come from if God doesn’t want you to kill he would not want you to be killed but warns you could be for his name sake . Further saving your children forced to renounce their faith once your gone.
They want to feel safe and defend themselves they aren’t given the means and training to do it. Keeping their faith without the means to keep it will not only result in anger and violence from their unbelieving attackers who cannot convert them but empower them with acts of terrorism.
