01/23/26 KNOW THE PLAYERS

I don't think you have seen the news item, referring to a group of Christ followers raiding a religious meeting, terrorizing, intimidating, threatening, attacking, and killing people in the gathering.

AND, even if you ever see such a report, the report will be a lie, since Christ followers DO NOT DO THOSE THINGS. There are religious people, entire denominations that may do these things, BUT NO CHRISTIAN behaves in that fashion.

Roman Catholics killed Protestants and others, Protestants killed Roman Catholics and other Protestants, but NO CHRISTIAN ever used violence against anyone, for personal, political, phiosophical reasons. Using physical force to maintain law and order is the responsibility of government, not believers. Living as a soldier of the cross and giving our life in His service is the call and directive of God to the Christian.

Before the Church existed, Peter used violence against a guard, but Jesus rebuked him for that action. Since then, it has been known by Bible believers that there is no such thing as "Christian violence."

"Christian Violence" is a contradiction in terms and behavior. Since the days of Constantine, the devil has perpetuated the false idea of Christians using violence against our enemies.

There is no such thing as an actual "Christian Militia." To buy into such a lie, a person must either know nearly nothing Biblically or contradict God's revelation about salvation.

"Christian violence" is one of the major deceptions of the end times. There is no New Testament picture of a Christian armed resistance. We, as the children of God are Ambassadors, witnesses, light bearers, living sacrifices, doing the work of reconciliation.
