you can love your enemy while killing them if you have to defend yourself.

I don't know if it's true, but I've read that the Bible we see today, is not what was originally written. Some things have been added over the centuries, and other original passages "adjusted", for one reason or another.

The very act of Loving one's enemy magically transmutes your 'enemy' into the Beloved!
All the Loving eye sees is the Beloved!
You cannot/need not Love an 'enemy' for more than a moment!
And for the 'Xtian' haters;
"He who does not Love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him" - 1 John 3:14-15 NKJV
"In him" = in unconditional Love/Christ Spirit...
Jesus could have (according to the story) saved 'his own life' by killing others.
Seems that he didn't, for some reason.
Perhaps his life was just not as important (or valuable) as your's? *__-

Jesus didn't save his life, because he knew he came to the earth for a purpose. To give his life for us. His life is far more precious. But he loves humankind with a great love.
Even Scripture tells us that God HATES everyone that loves violence:

God is indeed love. And he hates what is bad.
And he certainly does not love what is wicked.
