Andrew Hastie: 作为特种部队，保护基地，移除威胁是关爱邻居的行为。我认为我的部队在保护邻居，这是一件好事。
John Dixon: 我认为在某些情况下，用武力保护自己或他人是允许的。教会不应该使用暴力来推进基督的事业，而应该将复仇留给上帝。国家可以动用武力来对抗邪恶，是上帝复仇的体现。基督徒只有在作为国家权力机构行事时才能使用武力，并且即使是这种权力机构也应以眼泪而非喜悦来实施暴力。
提问者: 我个人准备用任何必要手段，包括致命武力，来保护自己和我的家人。我想知道在圣经角度来看，自卫的界限在哪里。
Deep Dive
This chapter explores the complexities of self-defense within the biblical context, examining seemingly contradictory passages and offering a nuanced perspective. It addresses the question of when self-defense is justifiable and how far one can go.
- The Bible prohibits murder but contains stories seemingly contradicting this, like Jael killing Sisera.
- The question of self-defense is complex, with differing interpretations of passages like 'turn the other cheek' and Jesus' instruction to buy swords.
- The chapter concludes that self-defense is permissible but church-led violence to further the gospel is not, drawing on Romans 12 and 13, and Augustine's perspective on Christian state actors using force.
