Hello David, welcome to PB!
Yes, we pretty much agree to what you have said in this thread. My question specifically inquired with regard to private individuals exercising defense of self, family, and the innocent, when the magistrate is absent or ineffective.
Sider has recently gotten some press in Christianity Today (as noted on the OP), and as he is still publishing his views we need to be ready to refute him. That's why this thread. Thanks for your input!
