violence doesn't solve anything.

My wife is in a wheelchair, and needs me to take care of her. Which one should I sacrifice to avoid meeting violence with violence? I have not searched this person out, they have come to do me, and mine, harm! Who should I allow them to kill? Since I keep a number of orphans alive overseas by my support, am I allowed to let them starve by sacrificing myself. I also feed the homeless (about 300) here in town directly, how many of them are to be allowed to die? I plan to follow what GOD allows:

"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe." Luke 11:21

I will help a burglar, If I can; once he is no longer a threat, as I do NOT want to kill anyone! I keep a good trauma first aid kit for that purpose. BUT, I disagree with you, violence does solve this specific problem! Again, the Bible does not agree with you on this point:

"3A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance". Ecclesiastes 3:3,4

So, I recommend that you don't kick down my door.... :)

I agree that using violence to defend yourself or those who need defending is justified, I don't need the bible to tell me that. I feel that's just common sense.

I have a very good trauma first aid kit, which I practice with, in the event of a shooting. I also practice with the firearms, to be as effective as possible. The third layer of preparation is special insurance for legal fees if I am forced to defend myself. In decades, I have been close to using my defensive firearm only once, but I managed to contain the situation without using it.

Violence does solve things. But it is only required when someone, somewhere, used their power in selfish ways, directly or indirectly.

From politicians and big companies waging war for oil, to the lack of government investment in education and security. Not to mention the "all brawl no brain" assholes.

A thief breaking and entering is usually a long term consequence of all three reasons combined.

ok, what if you suspect someone means you harm? then what do you do?

That's so vague. I would do something. What would I do? Depends on who I'm suspecting, why and of what.

Please give me something more specific I can work with, I'd gladly answer more throughly.

well like if you get a vibe from someone, that they have hidden and festering envy towards you and just express anger and hatred towards you.

That's not necessarily meaning harm, though. They could fester envy without meaning harm. So nothing.

If I pick up they're really going to do something, though, evasive maneuvers like avoiding them altogether or informing the authorities are the most obvious option. If they just come for me violently, I will use whatever means necessary.

ok thanks, I did inform the police and now doing my best to avoid them all together.

For real or just convo? Cuz if it's serious then it's worrying. Oh wait you mean me! I GET IT. IT GET IT. Jk. Edit: sorry, tired, about to sleep.

But are you serious?
