Scenario 2: You meet an intruder in your home, perceive (correctly, in this scenario also) that he is a serious threat to your family. You try to talk him out of harming anyone, but he kills you all.
In both scenarios, everyone in your family is saved and the intruder is not. What are the eternal consequences of each scenario?

Scenario 3: I shoot the intruder, and the members of my family go on to make a significant difference in the spiritual lives of many more people. That’s an eternal consequence.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.
Not being willing to defend your family is unacceptable.
