I think Self defense would be the only acceptable way.

Yes, murder is forbidden and a sin. There is also a penalty for murder in the bible.
In Exodus 20:13.thou shalt do no murder. Turn the page. because some use the "thou shalt not kill" to justify the fact that you don't put anybody to death. Capitol punishment is out and any kind of putting to death of people is wrong.
Wait a minute, thou shalt do no murder. If you do murder turn the page. Exodus 21:12. He that smites a man so that he dies shall be put to death, because he murdered. And in Leviticus 24:17 is says he that kills a man shall surely be put to death . So the Bible is not against capitol punishment. Jesus wasn't. He said in Mark 9:42, who so ever shall offend or hurt one of these little one that is believe in me, pedophiles, it would be better for him that a millstone were hanged around in neck and he was buried in the depths of the sea. If you have a millstone hanging around your neck weighing a hundred pounds, you are not coming up again. That is capitol punishment.
First of all, this is a stupid response because he spells "capital" wrong, and second of all, because he sidesteps the question of how murder by the state does not conflict with the "thou shalt not commit murder" commandment.

It is not forbidden to kill. It is forbidden to murder. In addition, God has often used His people, the Israelites, to execute judgment upon other nations. The great thing is this: Jesus Christ has now taken the punishment that we deserved! If only we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, then we are forgiven! Hope this helps!

If God specifically tells us to do so. And he hasn't for a while.
