A lot of the scriptures referenced is talking about denying your faith . Blasphemy is the unpardonable sin. The disciples probably all died as martyrs but that was the plan. Jesus didn’t come to defend himself he came as the blood sacrifice that if you believe and repent it covers your sins. Up to the time on the cross you can find many many references to defend yourself. David was a man of war and God said a man after his on heart. The one nation that attacked the week and elderly Jews at the back of the progression leaving for the promise land. God said kill every one of them. I guess I have a problem and maybe I am insecure in my faith. I am saved but I am packing not for my protection as much as the church members I love. If the world and it will keeps getting more evil the lost will see all these church shootings on the news and be scared to ever set foot in the church
