Can A Security Guard Use Weapons To Kill For Self-protection?

Kindly watch my video below:

These are the amazing things I learned from Bro. Eli Soriano's teaching on the above-mentioned topic in addition to my own personal research as well.

Numbers 35:10-13 (NIV)

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan,
select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.
They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that anyone accused of murder may not die before they stand trial before the assembly.
These six towns you give will be your cities of refuge.

If you are security personnel or a uniformed man or woman in any capacity, your first line of duty is to protect lives and properties. Any security personnel for any country, you must show loyalty to your country by neutralizing the threat posed by anyone who tries to pull down the country in any capacity.

The gun was given to protect others and also your own life from criminals. Your life is equally important as the lives and properties you are to protect as security personnel because without you enforcing those laws or being alive to enforce those laws, there would be more chaos in every corner.

Your intention matters. Your actions matters and why you do something is equally important and in carrying out your duties, there must never be a malicious intent to it because no action would be considered blameless unless the will was so, for, by the will, the act was dictated.

You are not liable for any crime if as security personnel you kill anyone accidentally in the line of duty and more so in self defense or self protection or in protection of others too.

Numbers 35:14-16 (NIV)

Give three on this side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge.
These six towns will be a place of refuge for Israelites and for foreigners residing among them, so that anyone who has killed another accidentally can flee there.
“‘If anyone strikes someone a fatal blow with an iron object, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death.

The main purpose of asking the guilty person to stand for justice in the anchor text is to know his intentions and for him or her to prove his or her innocence. The city of refuge was also created to avoid a backlash from the family or friends of the deceased before judgement would be made known via his motives and after it has been made known and he is found not guilty, no man has the right to lay a finger on him or her.

If you kill anyone in protecting lives and properties, or yourself even while discharging your own duties, it is not a crime but at least, if possible too, discharge your duties with compassion and that compassion is aiming for the arms, hands, legs, thighs and anywhere that won't bring about immediate death to the criminal. If you can neutralize the criminal without killing him, then that is way better.


Thank you for your time.
