“Like Jesus with the money changers in the Temple? “
No, like Jesus who told Peter to put his sword away when the soldiers came to take him away. I am not arguing at all that we shouldn’t defend ourselves. At all. I’m just saying that the primary messages of Christ include forgiveness, turning the other cheek, and giving more than is asked. That doesn’t mean Christ wants us to commit suicide, and it is one of the most difficult conundrums in being a Christian.
