With the talk of SHTF in our current climate, I wanted to tackle something.

I’m very pro 2A, but it just dawned on me recently, am I actually allowed to take a persons life in self defense, or battle, and still be able to be considered born again and saved by God? Self defense can be subjective, such as perimeter shooting to defend your house perceiving a threat (when that offender may be unarmed), or being woken up to someone in your room with a visible weapon pointed at you and/or loved ones. My mindset on self defense killing before I decided to accept Christ into my life was always shoot to kill and ask questions later.

Now, I am interpreting that it is OK to defend, but we are still not supposed to kill. I appreciate any guidance from anyone on this who has some good wisdom on this.
