That he meant as a Christian you were to stand there and watch someone commit murder, rape a woman, sodomize a child, beat up an elderly man or woman to steal his/her car? I am a Christian and it seems to me that people think that in order to be a good Christian and believe in the Bible/teachings of Jesus means to stand idly by and not do whatever it takes to stop/intervene in acts of violence. Are we not to defend ourselves against violent acts? Are we not to try and help others in a violent situation? A friend was carjacked yesterday while on the way to visit a hospice pt. at their home. She is a friend and a co-worker. She was pulled from her car at gunpoint, violently pistol whipped, and left on the ground. As a Christian, had I been near by and able to do something to protect her(yes I have a gun, yes I know how to shoot well actually) I would have. Thoughts please..
