He certainly is, but He also expects you to use the brain He gave you, and self defense is absolutely part of it. You are entitled to your opinion, I just don't agree with it. On the majority of scripture, I am sure we agree, but on self defense, we are worlds apart, and I am right, of course. Read Romans 13, and you did not comment on Israels bloody wars, fought at the direction of God. We don't go looking for any trouble, and walk away from it when we can, but when some scum bag comes into my place, looking to harm my family, he will have some new holes to breathe from. Some scum bags came into our collective house. It was called the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon. They need new holes to breathe from. I hope you will protect your family from harm, but that is between you and the Lord. Romans 13 still applies.
