So again we see the arrogance of stating "REAL" Christians must believe your way or they are not "REAL" Christians. How absurd. If a man points a gun at me in an attempt to rob me or harm my family it will b e a bad day for that individual. I will be happy to witness to him during prison ministry. All I see is hyperbole and zero facts to back up the claims unless of course a Hollywood program is to be used as "facts".
Is the use of "I was in the Army" or my first pastor was "Marine" supposed to mean something? I appreciate the service you and others have made but that has no bearing on the current discussion. Most Pastor's do admonish members not to join because you are often placed in situations that are not in keeping with good moral behavior such as the barracks life style. The whole "wine, women. and song" mantra of going out to either get drunk and find a girl or get drunk and find a fight. Many cannot handle the military life and remain Christian.
Don't tell me your a man and sit back and watch you family be raped and murdered. You can blame it on God if you want to but I will stop the intruder if I can. I will gladly lay down my life to protect my family in their defense - there is no greater love than this, to lay down your life for your family.

Let me apologize for saying "real" Christians. Let's just talk about the points of view.
Can you provide a biblical example of a Christian using lethal force against anyone without rebuke???
