The Bible is totally against anyone defending themselves or the family with deadly force. It is totally unacceptable for anyone in the New Testament church to use a weapon in the military, or use deadly force to protect personal property. We are called to peace, and we can use passive resistance but never violent resistance. You have not offered any kind of Biblical case to strengthen your argument when we have offered scripture numerous times. You didn't refute our arguments. I will politely ask you again to offer an argument based on the Bible how the first century church of Jesus Christ defended themselves with deadly force. You can also show us historically how those in the first and second century AD used deadly force to protect themselves. If you cannot produce any of the above then you have no argument and just your own speculative reasoning.
I want to thank you for all your time you spent in this discussion with me, but must ask you to please present something more substantial then your conjecture.

I have yet to see a single verse that supports the bible being "totally against" using physical force, even deadly force, to protect others from harm. I have seen support against repayment or rendering evil for evil, retribution and or vengeance. Anything else was speculation based on a lack of occurances. That is an argument from silence and proves nothing.
