If I could, I would disable a person before using lethal forces.

I'm not saying that killing is right, and I highly think it is wrong, but if it means keeping my family alive, I will resort to it.

well one of the ten commandments is Thou Shalt Not Kill..

but the bible also teaches that you can repent of your sins. the unpardonable sin is the sin of disbelief or chosen ignorance.

would one loaf of bread keep your family alive? i know your reference is full of holes and i'm not going to exploit them. i mean, taking the food without paying for it is definitely not a "christian" thing to do. But what's to stop you from returning later to repay what you've taken? is it then considered theft? i think personal conviction would be outweighed by common sense in most cases and you'd take the food to save your family, but if you were convicted to return later to the shop and pay for what you "stole" then you're on the right track.


does god the fact that YOUR FAMILY is more important than some bum who's gonna kill them? to you, your family is more important than some bum. but would it be fair for God to say "go ahead, kill him, he's just a bum" ? or in the end would the bum get his ultimate "reward" for killing?

and by all means i'd do everything i could to protect my family. the most "christian" thing of all would be to use yourself as a shield to protect your family lol..
