Here goes my two cents 🪙🪙
But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the 💡💡sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil,” (Rom. 13:1-4).
💡💡 He does not bear the sword in vain: The sword is a reference to capital punishment. In the Roman Empire, criminals were typically executed by beheading with a sword (crucifixion was reserved for the worst criminals of the lowest classes). ⭐⭐Paul, speaking by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, has no doubt that the state has the legitimate authority to execute criminals
Also 👉👉
“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right,” (1 Peter 2:13-14).
The Bible teaches that we have the right to self-defense 💡💡 Exodus 22:2: “If the thief is caught while breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account.” The Bible also tells us to protect the innocent,
The proper use of self-defense has to do with wisdom, understanding, and tact. In Luke 22:36, Jesus tells His remaining disciples, “If you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.” Jesus knew that now was the time when His followers would be threatened, and He upheld their right to self-defense
💡💡 So again according to the Bible Christians have a right to self defense a right to go to war under certain circumstances as well as implement capital punishment

Self-defense is so axiomatic that there’s no logical argument that can be lodged against it‼️‼️
Most sensible people would recognize national defense and self-defense as a givens but there are still some dupable people totally against the justification of either.
I’ve heard many of the nescient arguments against self-defense and they are just that—nescient or even worse‼️‼️
