Jesus Christ Was Not A Pacifist
There are many who have claimed that Jesus Christ was a pacifist and that He would never condone violence or war. Of course, Christ’s emphasis on love is sometimes perceived to imply that he was a pacifist who condemned all violence and war. But this is a misunderstanding. Knowing that Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever and that He is the one that created all things and is the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob should cause people to think about just who it was that gave the law and commands of the Old Testament.
The Bible demonstrates that Jesus Christ was not a pacifist and will demonstrate that he approved of the justified use of deadly force. Neither John the Baptist, nor Jesus, nor the apostles condemned soldiering.
“Then some soldiers asked him, ‘And what should we do?’ He replied, ‘Don’t exhort money and don’t accuse people falsely — be content with your pay’” (Luke 3:14).
John the Baptist did not tell soldiers that being soldiers was immoral per se, but simply condemned the abuse of their position as soldiers.
Jesus did not rebuke the centurion for being a soldier, but commended him for the faith that came from his understanding of authority in the military (Matthew 8:5-13; see also Acts 10:1-48).
Jesus Christ both permitted and commanded his followers to be armed.

You will not be popular with most of main stream, but you are correct. God protects His family,
a man that will not provide and protect his family is not following the example set for us.
I am ready and prepared to kill, not murder, to protect my grand children, children and wife.
Do I want to do so — I am not crazy, but I will not let some perverted evil person harm mine if it is in my power to stop it. I will stop it with deadly force if that is called for. I am highly trained.
After three and one half years with Christ two Apostles had swords on the night of the Lords Supper, to me that would mean it was usual for them to be carrying them.
Most do not understand Jesus is a warrior King and not a pacifist when He returns it is to fight and kill all of His enemies. When the word Host is used, that mean His army.
I should add, with what is coming, physical weapons will not save my family I will look to My Father for protection.
