It is pretty simple, god cares about our intent. Fighting evil to protect whats good is much different than going out with the intent to do harm to someone, very different. Great video
the real question is going into another country and blowing up villiages killing innocent families/children etc is not good with God, The shady governments telling soldiers they are the enemy just so they can steal their resources and put their own in power is not justified. i for one would not fight or kill in phony wars for the corrupt government, it's different if your own country is under attack and your protecting your family.
@@FirstLast-zk5ow ok bud, so if someone comes to harm your family you go ahead and sit there and watch, I won't. God didn't create us to be weak nor stupid either.
It is the one who needs to use force that is the weakling, he is the coward, not the one who puts on the whole armor of God. The use of force is always the first response of the carnal heart. But Paul tells us that: The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Jesus says: resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. When He says resist not evil, that's what He means Paul says: See that none render evil for evil unto any. Why? Because we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness [that is wicked spirits] in high places. It is not against men that we struggle, therefore carnal weapons are of no use, and no amount of use will ever improve any situation.

Can't forget the Marines 😉 I did 6 years in the Marines, both active and reserves. I felt it in my soul when you said "it changes you." For me, and so many others, we never saw combat and our lives were never in danger, yet that doesn't change the fact that they re-wired our minds to be emotionless and ready to take life. It is a true struggle to be filled with Christ's love and compassion and excitement. But I thank God for sanctification, constantly making me more like him!
I used to watch this chanel when I was a teenager when you talked about styling, and now after many years I got interested in the religion aspect of my life and this exact same chanel pops up. What a coincidence

Same here brother. As soon as I heard Trump say he was sending sof into Mexico to fight the cartel I put all of my chips in. It’s a fight I can get behind. So many drugs that have killed our fellow Americans. So many children getting sex trafficked across the border. So many people dying terrible painful deaths to these brutal cartel demons. In my eyes this I can get behind. I’m not doing it for me, I’m doing it for all the people the cartel has affected. Glad to hear you found the lord brother. Maybe I’ll see you in the batts one day. Remember the last name Sheehan.🙏✝️💪
Thank you so much for explaining this topic so nicely. When I asked this question to most of our Preachers they say it’s not allowed to use to kill someone even in self defense
The Bible affirms the right to life and property, not only in protecting others but also oneself. The command "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13) recognises the sanctity of all life, and the principle of self-defense (Exodus 22:2-3) reinforces the right to protect one’s life and property when reasonably justified. So there is a great difference between killing and murder. Then allowing evil to thrive by inaction contradicts the biblical call to stand for justice and resist wickedness (Proverbs 24:11-12). Modernday laws echo this by upholding the right to self-defense and property protection while maintaining accountability. Just as the Geneva Conventions prohibit the targeting of innocents and enforce rules of engagement on combatants. The Bible and international law rejects passivity in the face of evil. Evil prevails when good people remain silent and do nothing, but righteousness demands action to uphold life, justice, and order (Romans 12:21).
Jesus led me my way through more than 41 Years of service in the Army of my country. Make sure this is your way as a young christian. For many believers is it not. They are not made for it. For my it was. God was always with me, saved my life in some situations. I am thankfully for this life, the comrades . The Lord gave me enough resilience not to get destroyed mentally. Thank you for the clear preaching . The difference between killing and murder. In my country many people do not know this , will not even listen to this. The Bible is true.
Hello , roger here. I’m a new subscriber, saw your video yesterday, an loved it thank you !!🐾😎hello to rest of your subs. Jesus I ask forgiveness .I’m repenting 🤷
The Bible is our instruction manual for our life on Earth. It tells us how we got here, shows us our sin, and also shows what the Lord did, to restore our relationship with HIM. {If you choose to accept this gift} As we are nearing the End of Days, we know life will become more difficult for the Christ Follower. That's why we have been given the full amour of God. Wear it daily, and the plans of the man of perdition will NOT prosper, but your witness will prosper. Great video for these times we find ourselves in!!
Sending a soul to Jesus takes a toll on you. No matter the curcimstances. These kids that are doing it, man, I can't even phathom carring that for so long. May Jesus Christ of Nazareth Bless You.
Yes, it has an effect on our minds when we Take life or go to war. These things can cause PTSD. We weren't created to take each other's life. Take care
you're right many people read certain parts of the Bible and don't ignore others, they forget our lord Jesus the first time he came as the Lamb of God to save us from our sins, did they forget when he comes the second time he's coming in as a roaring lion, dressed in a red blood road he's going to be wearing,
Watch the movie "Machinegun Preacher," which is a true story. He doesn't just kill in self-defense, but he literally went out and hunted and killed terrorists. Is what he did justified by God... no man can know until he meets God. BUT A Great movie!
The Lord likes to give me parables and riddles. One recent one was of a record (vinyl), which has 2 sides, and classically the "hits" would be on the first side, the "A-Side". Then the B-side was the less visited side. But if somebody bought the album because they like the artist, they'd listen to both sides; if someone just bought the record to hear the same familiar songs over and over, they stick to the front side, the "A-side". The Lord told me not to be an "A-side Christian". Read the Bible, all of it. Not just repeating the same scripture, out of context, to push fleshly desires forward. Or out of laziness. God bless!
Don't forget, it took organized religion aka the Church that Jesus established to compile and canonize the Bible. The Church came before the Bible. Most prideful rebellious western protestants forget this and they all just read Scriptures and make up their own doctrines of men. Countless thousands of denominations, all claiming to be guided by the Holy spirit, but yet all disagreeing on basic doctrines. They forget the first 1,500 years of Christianity. Protestantism is a mess.
As someone who has been incredibly violent in the past, I pray every day I never have to turn into that again. Live by the sword, die by the sword. I live for Jesus.
The Bible says that God is a man of war, and self defence is justice because you are not a murder but you defence yourself/protect yourself for not be killed.
@@herbb8547 Thank you, but I think there was a verse somewhere that said that if I see the thief and intentiunelly kill him, that is a sin. I can't remember it exactly.
I think that there is big difference between what is done willfully and what is done out of necessity. Like self defense, you have done everything that you can to avoid it but it happens because of someone else's choice not by yours. The difference is intent. Say you were alive in Nazi Germany and were hiding Jewish people in your house and the SS shows up asking if you know the whereabouts of any Jews. Of course you lie in that situation because the law of love is above the law of lying. Also sometimes judgement is necessary, like if you suspect someone is a child abuser, you most certainly are not going to entrust your children to their care. Again it is by love that your actions are sanctified. We live in a fallen imperfect world where things are not always black and white but we have grace for such situations where the law leaves no room and would burst.
Very true. Cause I've been very confused on the subject. Cause I mean in real life. I'm just not the kind of person to do it I can never. But say within reason how do we determine someone needs to die? Like whatever crimes that criminals make say close to or threatening or trying to hurt or kill. Just have and wait til they are arrested and get here. Now I may knockout or injure,torture, fight in self defense. But for me theirs always better ways to handle things. Just to be the better person. As we'd be no better then them. So the question here is how should we do it? In what way? As you do it in self defense. Like how should you do it? Know what I mean? 😕 🤔 🧐
It's been a while since I have watched your video and I kinda miss that part where you used to say "and always remember, that GOD loves you and I love you too"
I know that woman (Maria Angelina Alexander) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is the one that helped you get where you are!!!!
Proverbs 20-“Whoever provokes him to anger forfeits his own life. It is an honor for a man to keep away from strife by handling situations with thoughtful foresight”; But any fool will (start) a quarrel without regard for the consequences”.
I think we should be as merciful as possible, if the situation allows it, this will reveal our hearts - if we decide to kill someone when mercy could have been shown, that person's life could have been spared, then its shows that we've always wanted to kill, and was just waiting for an opportunity to do it, or a situation that would allow us to kill someone and be a false green light in our minds Always persue mercy, how do we know if a person may come to Christ or not in the future, if we kill a person, we take away that chance Peace and mercy is what God values, we should also like, wise, value these things
There were early Christians in those days that Saul/Paul murdered....people lives were taken away due to Saul/Paul actions....what should you do in that situation....let's be honest plus listen to this advice its really good
Jesus told his disciples to sell their cloaks in exchange for a sword. He knew people were hostile toward them and needed a means to deter attacks or worst case scenario defend themselves. This world aint sunshine and rainbows, God is no stranger to violence it just cannot be senseless, it must be justified (not rationalized). He flooded the world for a reason and instructed the Israelites to kill the prophets of baal.
Shalom, You're an idiot. Psalm 18: 34-35, Psalm 144:1-2. I forget the other verse but paraphrased it says " The man that doesn't provide/ protect his family is worse than an infidel. Have you EVER actually read a Bible or learned ANYTHING from it?
No, it's because of pride, sinful nature, and control that the people want, therefore they think it is okay to go to war, to protest, and so much more. God is a God of love, not of war! I do believe we can protect our family, but not in this way. We will be tested by our fruit. It is the sinful nature of the world that is causing chaos, destruction and mistrust.
You think your constitution and human laws negates the truth and power of God’s word. Under no circumstance in the New Testament should you kill as a Christian. You honor your so called soldiers,do you think when they drop bombs they kill only the so called “enemies”? And even if its the case,you think just because you are a soldier or police you have right over human life that Only God gives? You will be surprised in the day of judgment of what you will witness
Defend urself when In danger like the Muslims but enrolling in the army doesn't mean u were in danger but puting urself in dangerous situations, and that's called free will, never force a holly war, you'll be on the wrong side
@ there is no such thing as a “christian country” these are human constructs that have no bases in scripture. Human laws can never delete or replace God’s laws. The world system as the scriptures say is of the devil so thinking there is anything Godly about the police and soldiers you are very mistaken. Its a sign of this fallen world. Human beings deciding there are set of people given authority to kill in the name of police and soldiers at whatever circumstance will still be judged. Read your scriptures if at all you are a believer in Christ. To the world everything goes but to those in the kingdom of God,different set of rules reign supreme

As a man going to the police academy and a follower of Jesus I have had this question bothering me if Jesus would approve of this even though I feel God calling me to this. I know what it does to the men and women that join and I am very aware that I may end up having to make the ultimate sacrifice to do my duty to my community and I really am at peace with it because I know where I am going at the end. I found this video in my recommended feed and I wanted to thank you for making it. Thank you, brother. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God" Matthew 5:9
Good biblical explanation, thanks...I appreciate the example given of Saul. He could not build the Temple since he was a man of War and shed blood. His opportunity of reward was denied, yet Saul was still included as a child of God.
They told me once that the Bible was wrongly translated about that topic and it was "You should not murder the Inocent" Its not the same to murder in cold blood in a crime, that to kill in self defense defending your family or your own life. Of course, killing will always leave a burden in you. You are taking another life. I remember two movies from Clint Eastwood: Unforgiven and American Sniper, where this topic was a central plot.
I joined the marine corps recently and I wrestled with killing but I came up with the same conclusion as this video but you are right it does change you and challenges your faith and tempts you a lot bc of many things around you but God help me and help you all pray very honestly and speak with God before joining any of the branches

I have more issues with anxiety if I go out into public and every now and then a dream of a bad experience on the job, but I give the Lord Jesus all praise and can’t wait to meet all my brothers and sisters in heaven and I’m guessing it won’t be long. Never less come quickly Lord Jesus! Stay strong buddy and I’ll see you here there or in the air! 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
Amen Brother! We have a responsibility to stop evil as it's happening. Sometimes making peace requires us to stop evil.
History has proven that there is no peace quite like peace through superior firepower.
Thank you, Daniel for this video. My late husband retired after 24 years in the USN and I was in the USN reserve. Both of us became reborn Christians as did our son. I enjoyed this video even though it’s mainly for men. God bless you and your family and ministry

Thank you, Bro. Daniel, so much for sharing this. I became so emotional and my eyes watered. I spent over 25 years in the US Army and about to pursuit a career in law enforcement, Lord willing. I appreciate your videos. I'm glad for your courage to step away from talking about the creation and deciding to speak on Self defense and just war. I needed that. I will be watching this video again. Many of the verses I had a hard time looking for, so thank you. Thank you for your broadcasts/ messages, they have inspired me since I followed your ministry last month. GOD bless, you and your family, Daniel. Shalom and Happy Thanksgiving.
CHRIST is KING. JESUS is LORD. MA Godly again in 2025.
Thank you for your service!
You can protect yourself and family in your own dwelling. Also, if an innocent is being attacked (like a child) than you are obligated to intervene
Show me in the Bible where it says that? Only thing it says is if they attack your cities to defend yourself and to turn your plowshares into swords.
A great subject, and one that has been on my mind. Thank you.

Can't forget the Marines 😉
I did 6 years in the Marines, both active and reserves. I felt it in my soul when you said "it changes you." For me, and so many others, we never saw combat and our lives were never in danger, yet that doesn't change the fact that they re-wired our minds to be emotionless and ready to take life. It is a true struggle to be filled with Christ's love and compassion and excitement.
But I thank God for sanctification, constantly making me more like him!
Don’t forget the Marines.. Brother… my son is a USMC, thank you for your videos , Pastor Daniel

I used to watch this chanel when I was a teenager when you talked about styling, and now after many years I got interested in the religion aspect of my life and this exact same chanel pops up. What a coincidence
Thank you, Pastor, thank you.
I do not fight who is in front of me that I hate but to protect what is behind me that I love. God, family and country.
I’m 21. I was born again last year. I’m signing up to join the U.S. Army infantry and hopefully become a ranger one day. This video does bring me peace with my choices.
Same here brother. As soon as I heard Trump say he was sending sof into Mexico to fight the cartel I put all of my chips in. It’s a fight I can get behind. So many drugs that have killed our fellow Americans. So many children getting sex trafficked across the border. So many people dying terrible painful deaths to these brutal cartel demons. In my eyes this I can get behind. I’m not doing it for me, I’m doing it for all the people the cartel has affected. Glad to hear you found the lord brother. Maybe I’ll see you in the batts one day. Remember the last name Sheehan.🙏✝️💪
That's awesome. You are going to become the modern day version of one of David's mighty men
This goes deep! Thank you Brother for posting this!
Thank you for sharing this great information!!
Thank you so much for explaining this topic so nicely. When I asked this question to most of our Preachers they say it’s not allowed to use to kill someone even in self defense
Amen❤ Jesus is Lord❤ thank you for making a video about this important matter Daniel. God bless
Great question, and subject matter that needs to be addressed, especially now in these end times I have often thought about the self defense issue.
The Bible affirms the right to life and property, not only in protecting others but also oneself. The command "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13) recognises the sanctity of all life, and the principle of self-defense (Exodus 22:2-3) reinforces the right to protect one’s life and property when reasonably justified. So there is a great difference between killing and murder. Then allowing evil to thrive by inaction contradicts the biblical call to stand for justice and resist wickedness (Proverbs 24:11-12). Modernday laws echo this by upholding the right to self-defense and property protection while maintaining accountability. Just as the Geneva Conventions prohibit the targeting of innocents and enforce rules of engagement on combatants. The Bible and international law rejects passivity in the face of evil. Evil prevails when good people remain silent and do nothing, but righteousness demands action to uphold life, justice, and order (Romans 12:21).

Jesus led me my way through more than 41 Years of service in the Army of my country. Make sure this is your way as a young christian. For many believers is it not. They are not made for it. For my it was. God was always with me, saved my life in some situations. I am thankfully for this life, the comrades . The Lord gave me enough resilience not to get destroyed mentally. Thank you for the clear preaching . The difference between killing and murder. In my country many people do not know this , will not even listen to this. The Bible is true.
Hello , roger here. I’m a new subscriber, saw your video yesterday, an loved it thank you !!🐾😎hello to rest of your subs. Jesus I ask forgiveness .I’m repenting 🤷
Thank you, brother Daniel, for your clarification. Well saod and done. God bless you and the ones who are loving you and vice versa.
The Bible is our instruction manual for our life on Earth. It tells us how we got here, shows us our sin, and also shows what the Lord did, to restore our relationship with HIM. {If you choose to accept this gift} As we are nearing the End of Days, we know life will become more difficult for the Christ Follower. That's why we have been given the full amour of God. Wear it daily, and the plans of the man of perdition will NOT prosper, but your witness will prosper.

Desmond Doss had to wrestle with that dilemma.
you're right many people read certain parts of the Bible and don't ignore others, they forget our lord Jesus the first time he came as the Lamb of God to save us from our sins, did they forget when he comes the second time he's coming in as a roaring lion, dressed in a red blood road he's going to be wearing,
If anyone tries harming my family im sending them to God, and i can only hope he will forgive me.

Watch the movie "Machinegun Preacher," which is a true story. He doesn't just kill in self-defense, but he literally went out and hunted and killed terrorists. Is what he did justified by God... no man can know until he meets God. BUT A Great movie!
Beautiful film

@@JohannesspandulenyNdjulume - Okay Bible scholar... Teach us the scripture that says you can
Dankie Boetie, good word, God bless you
The Lord likes to give me parables and riddles. One recent one was of a record (vinyl), which has 2 sides, and classically the "hits" would be on the first side, the "A-Side". Then the B-side was the less visited side. But if somebody bought the album because they like the artist, they'd listen to both sides; if someone just bought the record to hear the same familiar songs over and over, they stick to the front side, the "A-side".
The Lord told me not to be an "A-side Christian".
Read the Bible, all of it. Not just repeating the same scripture, out of context, to push fleshly desires forward. Or out of laziness.
God bless!
You pretty much said exactly this right after I unpaused from writing this LOL!
Don't forget, it took organized religion aka the Church that Jesus established to compile and canonize the Bible. The Church came before the Bible. Most prideful rebellious western protestants forget this and they all just read Scriptures and make up their own doctrines of men. Countless thousands of denominations, all claiming to be guided by the Holy spirit, but yet all disagreeing on basic doctrines. They forget the first 1,500 years of Christianity. Protestantism is a mess.
As someone who has been incredibly violent in the past, I pray every day I never have to turn into that again. Live by the sword, die by the sword. I live for Jesus.
The Bible says that God is a man of war, and self defence is justice because you are not a murder but you defence yourself/protect yourself for not be killed.
What verses do you have? :)

Lovely! I enjoyed it like I enjoy a $100k monthly around the turn!!!
Please a video about "turning the other cheek"
This would be really applicable to what you mentioned, but also perhaps kids being bullied.
I think that there is big difference between what is done willfully and what is done out of necessity. Like self defense, you have done everything that you can to avoid it but it happens because of someone else's choice not by yours. The difference is intent. Say you were alive in Nazi Germany and were hiding Jewish people in your house and the SS shows up asking if you know the whereabouts of any Jews. Of course you lie in that situation because the law of love is above the law of lying. Also sometimes judgement is necessary, like if you suspect someone is a child abuser, you most certainly are not going to entrust your children to their care. Again it is by love that your actions are sanctified. We live in a fallen imperfect world where things are not always black and white but we have grace for such situations where the law leaves no room and would burst.
this is very interesting topic to discuss it has very deep meaning about law, human rights and justice
Yes i agree 💯👍 but causing war an killing out of cold blood is sin self defense is not fighting others wars isnt right ither in my eyes
Very true. Cause I've been very confused on the subject. Cause I mean in real life. I'm just not the kind of person to do it I can never. But say within reason how do we determine someone needs to die? Like whatever crimes that criminals make say close to or threatening or trying to hurt or kill. Just have and wait til they are arrested and get here. Now I may knockout or injure,torture, fight in self defense. But for me theirs always better ways to handle things. Just to be the better person. As we'd be no better then them. So the question here is how should we do it? In what way? As you do it in self defense. Like how should you do it? Know what I mean? 😕 🤔 🧐
It's been a while since I have watched your video and I kinda miss that part where you used to say "and always remember, that GOD loves you and I love you too"

Proverbs 20-“Whoever provokes him to anger forfeits his own life. It is an honor for a man to keep away from strife by handling situations with thoughtful foresight”; But any fool will (start) a quarrel without regard for the consequences”.
Very well explained. Thank you for this.
Yes, it is, when we are called by God to do so.
Great video. It helped me a lot.
I think we should be as merciful as possible, if the situation allows it, this will reveal our hearts - if we decide to kill someone when mercy could have been shown, that person's life could have been spared, then its shows that we've always wanted to kill, and was just waiting for an opportunity to do it, or a situation that would allow us to kill someone and be a false green light in our minds
Always persue mercy, how do we know if a person may come to Christ or not in the future, if we kill a person, we take away that chance
Peace and mercy is what God values, we should also like, wise, value these things
Thanks so much for the message.🙏
Self defence by prayer not by sword, gun or any weapons.
There were early Christians in those days that Saul/Paul murdered....people lives were taken away due to Saul/Paul actions....what should you do in that situation....let's be honest plus listen to this advice its really good
Jesus told his disciples to sell their cloaks in exchange for a sword. He knew people were hostile toward them and needed a means to deter attacks or worst case scenario defend themselves.
This world aint sunshine and rainbows, God is no stranger to violence it just cannot be senseless, it must be justified (not rationalized). He flooded the world for a reason and instructed the Israelites to kill the prophets of baal.
Shalom, You're an idiot. Psalm 18: 34-35, Psalm 144:1-2. I forget the other verse but paraphrased it says " The man that doesn't provide/ protect his family is worse than an infidel. Have you EVER actually read a Bible or learned ANYTHING from it?
Good morning brother thank you so much for your sharing
Jesus Christ is coming back.
DID JESUS CHRIST EVER SAY FOR A REAL BELIEVER TO KILL EVEN in WAR
No, it's because of pride, sinful nature, and control that the people want, therefore they think it is okay to go to war, to protest, and so much more. God is a God of love, not of war! I do believe we can protect our family, but not in this way. We will be tested by our fruit. It is the sinful nature of the world that is causing chaos, destruction and mistrust.
Thank you for this bro
Dont forget ou brave Marines and Coast Gaurd too Daniel ❤
You think your constitution and human laws negates the truth and power of God’s word. Under no circumstance in the New Testament should you kill as a Christian. You honor your so called soldiers,do you think when they drop bombs they kill only the so called “enemies”? And even if its the case,you think just because you are a soldier or police you have right over human life that Only God gives? You will be surprised in the day of judgment of what you will witness
I just luv your work brother Daniel
Defend urself when In danger like the Muslims but enrolling in the army doesn't mean u were in danger but puting urself in dangerous situations, and that's called free will, never force a holly war, you'll be on the wrong side
Defense does mean killing. You can’t kill as a Christian under any circumstance
So should no Christian country have an army and police force and no Christian should join them if they live in Non Christian countries@@newtonmutea
@ there is no such thing as a “christian country” these are human constructs that have no bases in scripture. Human laws can never delete or replace God’s laws. The world system as the scriptures say is of the devil so thinking there is anything Godly about the police and soldiers you are very mistaken. Its a sign of this fallen world. Human beings deciding there are set of people given authority to kill in the name of police and soldiers at whatever circumstance will still be judged. Read your scriptures if at all you are a believer in Christ. To the world everything goes but to those in the kingdom of God,different set of rules reign supreme

That’s a very good break down At
They told me once that the Bible was wrongly translated about that topic and it was "You should not murder the Inocent"
Its not the same to murder in cold blood in a crime, that to kill in self defense defending your family or your own life.
Of course, killing will always leave a burden in you. You are taking another life. I remember two movies from Clint Eastwood: Unforgiven and American Sniper, where this topic was a central plot.
I joined the marine corps recently and I wrestled with killing but I came up with the same conclusion as this video but you are right it does change you and challenges your faith and tempts you a lot bc of many things around you but God help me and help you all pray very honestly and speak with God before joining any of the branches
