Can Christians defend themselves against Islamic extremists?Is pacifism in the Bible?Do the Gospels say Jesus was a pacifist?What if God commands us to use deadly force to defend the innocent?How do Jesus and the New Testament writers feel about the military?What does the Bible say about the death penalty?Can Christians sit on juries and vote for the death penalty?Can Jesus' teachings help soldiers with combat-induced PTSD?Does the Bible have a consistent message about self-defense from the Old Testament to the New?"
