Re: Does the Bible Enshrine a ‘God-Given Right’ to Shoot in Self Defense?
The Bible teaches that we are our brother's keeper. The way I see it, healthy, strong, able-bodied folks have a duty to protect those around them. If I see a weaker person being victimized and do nothing, whether it is because I choose to do nothing or chose not to arm myself, would God not judge me? If someone strikes me and I choose not to retaliate, that is one thing. If I watch someone weaker, who can't defend themselves being struck and choose not to do anything, that is another matter. I would go so far as to say, as Christians, we have a duty to arm ourselves. Others may disagree.
