I’ve heard theologians say that self defense is ok. Some Christian pacifists literally say to just stand there and let yourself be killed. Now if I was captured by taliban and they said deny Christ or die then I’d have to die but I will defend loved ones from evil. No question

Thing is, if you only take action when it is unbearable, you will find yourself out of the tent in the cold and the camel in bed with your wife.
It's why you need to viciously safeguard your boundaries, or find yourself left to the tender mercies of reservation/street life.
You aren’t wrong. That is probably one of my main struggles as a Christian.
I'm sure you will win that struggle. Keep fighting the good fight!
Thanks!
