If my wife were being assulted and I didn't use force to stop it, I'd say that was evil.
Even if you believed that, as a result, she would spend eternity in heaven while you, for using force, would be condemned to hell, never to see her again?

If the thief is caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account. -- Exodus 22:2
DoughtyOne would perhaps be in danger of hellfire if he were to fail to defend his family; but the employment of Force in defense of his family might well earn him "Good and Faithful Servant" stripes on his "Godly Husband" uniform.

Have you ever heard of a group called the children of Israel? Guy, the Lord God sanctioned their battles. How can you say that I would not be saved because I defended my wife? I think you guys have a twisted vision of what the Lord expects from us. To go out and kill for no reason is not right, but to kill in the defense of what is right, is a noble cause.
