Many believe it is anti-Christian to defend yourself, a family member, stranger or even friend from certain death by using lethal force.....I believe the story of Esther proves this to be wrong......We all know how Haman conspired against the Jews and through deceit and playing Artaxerxes brought a law to pass that allowed a certain day of "death" to be leveled against the Jews if you will....the end result is Haman was hung on the cross he had prepared for Mordecai and the "KING Artaxerxes writes a decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves against those who would do them harm....NOTE this was after much prayer and intercession to God by the Jews......
the end result.....NOT ONE JEW was killed and the JEWS KILLED 75,000 of their enemy (Josephus as a second witness)
NO ONE will ever convince me that God's hand was not in this....It is biblical to defend the innocent as well as one's self against certain death by using lethal means........
What say you?

The last orders of God that i have received comes from the New Testament teachings of the LORD Jesus Christ.. And so i will not engage in any carnal combat / warfare, So again if i follow the teachings of Jesus then i will be blessed by God and have success..

It is very hard for men especially to believe Jesus on this issue..
