Well I think it's easier to say that now, but when you are faced with a real life situation where you might have to say....swing a shovel at a larger man to stop them from beating in their wifes skull...you are not only committing violence, but you are in a position where you might have to harm them.

BTW I would never argue such a recourse is to be taken lightly. Few cops feel good about taking a life even if theirs was threatened.

You might say it's the lesser of two evils perhaps...which do you do...protect and save you family which some would argue is scriptural or possibly kill someone that is not saved, which some would argue is also scripturally wrong.

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
