John Dixon:我认为在某些情况下,为了保护自己或他人,使用武力是允许的。我并不认为教会可以使用暴力来推进福音的传播。保罗在罗马书12章中警告教会,基督徒不能通过暴力和复仇来推进神的国度。然而,在罗马书13章中,保罗承认,在一个堕落的世界里,国家行为者必须使用武力来保护他人免受邪恶的侵害。圣奥古斯丁认为,基督徒只有在作为国家权力机构行事时,才可以使用武力,并且即使在这种情况下,也应该带着眼泪而不是喜悦来执行。因此,我认为在圣经的语境下,自卫是一个复杂的问题,需要仔细辨析何时可以,以及界限在哪里。我需要强调的是,我始终认为爱邻如己是最高的行为准则,任何自卫行为都应以此为出发点,避免过度使用暴力。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the complexities of biblical self-defense, examining contrasting verses and interpretations to determine the permissibility and limits of self-defense actions.
  • The Bible's stance on self-defense is complex, with seemingly contradictory verses.
  • The act of self-defense is permissible, but the use of violence to further the gospel is not.
  • Christians acting as state authorities may use force to combat evil, but with sorrow, not rejoicing.
