@All, thanks alot. Much appreciated! I showed him this thread and I can tell he feels much better now!

seriallink: My friend is a dedicated Christian; he killed in self defense, though acquitted in court, he still feels guilty of murder and think it's terrible sin! Do you guys think it's a sin?

Maybe your friend should have let himself be killed innocently and wastefully and see how that feels in the grave

Self defence to me is not a sin,its d motive behind ur action dt I bliv maters b4 God,and in ur frnd's case,I wnt 2 blive he never had d intentn 2 kill,however,God doesn't condem u as a child of God(Rom8:1)but if ur ignorant of what d WORD says abt u as a xtian,frnd,d wicked one will take adv of ur ignorance 2 hunt u dwn,there making u fill condemed b4 God

No don't kill in self defence O let the murderer kill you so that police would start investigation on who your murderer is. Or you can enter your wardrobe and bring out your necktie or your wife's scarf to tie the murderer then call police. And if you were able to overpower him and collect his weapon, give him back and start quoting ''NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER"

Self defense is not immoral especially if that defendant had little choice. So called preemptive strikes that's another thing entirely. If danger is PROVEN BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT to be eminent I suppose one could "strike first" although that seems like an oxymoron (defensive attacking) . All in all self defense is ok in my book.
