Protecting Loved Ones
Response to comment [from a
Christian]: Under the New Testament,
is it wrong to stand up for a loved
one. That is, if they are under a
threat.
Example: A man hits your wife, from
that point (biblically) what should
you do? (Under New Covenant)[.]
Please back up statements with
scripture."
Jesus took a lot of guff and responded peacefully but when
men
dishonored his dad, he wouldn't take it (Jn 2:15).
Yes, we should defend our loved ones and strangers. We are permitted to use
reasonable force against villains.
