We're supposed to "turn the other cheek."But, are there times when,for practical reasons,we are permitted to defend ourselves?Like, in order to help another?Lets say we're trained to overtake others{before we got saved], and a married Christian man comes home and sees someone raping his wife.Is he supposed to be "mellow"and say,"oh that's fine. Go ahead and rape her.',or is he allowed, under those circumstances,to defend her?If we have a 90 year old disabled mother,and someone is mugging her, should we defend her?Or a child molester doing something with our daughter?In other words,would defense be acceptable under those kind or circumstances?
