Best Answer

While many Christians could say there are biblical passages which speak out against violence (Matthew 26:22), there are passages that point out that when Jesus spoke with soldiers, He did not say combating was morally wrong (Matthew 8:5-13). In Luke 22:36, Jesus instructed His disciples to take a defensive sword with them as the time of His arrest approached. Many Christians would agree that The Bible does not condemn self defense and that the use of force is sometimes justified.
