Vengeance belongs to God (Romans 12:19; Deuteronomy 32:35; Proverbs 20:22). We are not to avenge ourselves. If we see someone who needs our help during the commission of a crime, we have a God-given right and duty to intervene.

Actually, my personal choice in the matter is that my gun is for the defense of my life and the lives of my family only. If someone has made their personal choice to disarm and be anti-gun, then it what way do I have a duty to intervene? If they don't value their own lives enough to defend it, then in what way am I under any obligation? My life was Purchased at a Great Price.

Would someone with MPD (multiple personality disorder) have the right, indeed the obligation, for one personality (p1) to defend another personality (p2, etc.) against someone seeking to harm them?

Or is p1 in defending p2, etc. unavoidably also defending themselves (p1) too, thus the action is both wrong and right?

Hummmmmm.... :-)
