How would you react if someone threatened you with violence?

Personally, I would stand my ground and let God handle it. But that is up to the individual. The last time someone tried to hurt me an angel violently tured him around and sent him on his way. That was a sight. The Lord has protected me all my life so I don't worry about this kind of thing happening to me. If you are close to God as he wants you to be in His way through Jesus His son, you don't have to worry about this. If not, you're on your own.
