Q419: What If Someone Attacked You and You Had To Fight To Save Your Own Life?

Reactions from the article: THE PROMOTION OF BASELESS HATRED IN THE BIG BUSINESSES OF BOXING, UFC, WWE, AND HIRED/CONTRACT KILLINGS! People's Love of Money And Entertainment Resulted To The Tortures And Killings of Human Bodies, Provoking The Wrath of God! אוֹרְאֵל יאיר, Expectacion Maria Lorena, Arlene Aguilar, and Nancy John like this.

I respect your opinions and beliefs, and usually agree with you. Although I have a different opinion of boxing. Have you ever worn a 2 lb boxing glove? They are padded, and I can't help but to think about "self defense." I believe that certain skills as such could possibly in certain scenarios be used justifiably although rare. So I would ask you your opinions of "self defense." 

What if someone attacked you and you had to fight to save your own life?

Lope Columna Self-Defense is a different story. The crux of the matter here is LIFE Preservation. 

A person that attack another person without any valid reason disqualifies himself to live; that is, he forfeits his own life (1John 3:14-15).

• We know that we have passed from DEATH to LIFE, because we love the brothers. HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER ABIDES IN DEATH. (1Jn 3:14 MKJV)

• "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the JUDGMENT: But I say unto you, That whosoever is ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE shall be in danger of the JUDGMENT... (Mat 5:21-22 KJV)

• WHOSOEVER HATETH HIS BROTHER IS A MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER HATH ETERNAL LIFE abiding in him. (1Jn 3:15 KJV)

The John Gill's Exposition to the Entire Bible, says:
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer,.... A soul murderer, as the Ethiopic version renders it; not only of himself, for every sinner, by sinning, wrongs and destroys his own soul; but of his brother whom he hates: he is a murderer of him in his heart, even as he that lusts after a woman hath committed adultery with her in his heart, out of which arise murders, as well as adulteries; it is not only taking away life, but also causeless anger, malice, and hatred, that is a breach of the sixth command; see Mat_5:21;

and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him; he has not the grace of life, or the beginning of eternal life in him; he has no meetness for it, being unregenerate; and no right unto it, being unrighteous; nor has he the earnest and pledge of it, being destitute of the Spirit of God; all which a regenerate man has, and has them abiding in him: not but that the sin of murder may be forgiven; a man guilty of it may truly repent, and have pardoning grace applied unto him, and enjoy eternal life, through the grace of the Spirit, and the blood and righteousness of Christ; but without these he is so far from having eternal life, that he is not only punishable with a corporeal death, according to the laws of God and man; but he is exposed unto, and will die the second, or an eternal death. -- GILL 

From Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary:
hath — Such a one still “abideth in death.” It is not his future state, but his present, which is referred to. He who hates (that is, loveth not) his brother (1Jo_3:14), cannot in this his present state have eternal life abiding in him. -- JFB 

And you (the person being attack) still deserves to live. So, in the eyes of God, you have the right to defend yourself and save your life. 

And for the attacker, since he already forfeited his own life by attacking you, especially if he intends to kill you, then you have all the right to kill that attacker, if necessary. By doing so, you preserve LIFE, even your LIFE and/or the LIFE of your Family.

Expectacion Maria Lorena There's No one would think and realize all those things as long as they became famous and got plenty of money. No One, I guess,

Lope Columna That's true, Maria, for people who's mind and focus is only on this world. But for someone who is focused more on the world-to-come, they can realize the vanity and dangers of these offers of this world ruled and deceived by Satan.
