I've read the Bible multiple times and it never changes. We know Who wins in the end, and it's not them. Put on the whole armor of God!

πŸ™ŒπŸΌβœοΈπŸ™πŸ» LOVE your comment!! I say some version of this statement virtually every single day to encourage my people :). What a comfort it is knowing how this all turns out, even if we don’t know what the details will look like between now and then. Thanks for your great comment!

The 200M killed by, and the 2 billion imprisoned by Communism in the 20th century alone might have had a chance if they put down their Bible, learned some tactical warfare skills, and killed their oppressors first. Christians have launched Crusades previously, suggest you focus on those men.

Human beings of all kinds of ideologies have engaged in warfare and killing (most of them have been godless, not religious), and there are always humans who will take every good thing and pervert it.

The Bible doesn't teach that we can't defend ourselves against evil. But if you prefer to place your focus on human warriors and warfare, be my guest. I suggest keeping your eyes on God first and always. Nobody has ever conquered any evil without Him.

Given His omniscience, and omnipotence, He made Evil. It is endemic to species. God wants the world he created to contain Evil. Defending yourself from a violent attack, is not evil.

I do agree with you that only the Creator of Evil, can defeat it. Perhaps He has not gotten around to it yet, so while I wait, I have enough ammo to keep even pacifists like you safe. But, if you can't carry a few boxes of ammo to 12,000 ft, I won't be looking back.

You're wrongly assuming much (like, that I am a pacifist and don't have weapons and strongly support 2A.)

Humans chose evil, there's the rub. Having created free will and gifted humans with that, it's clear that God considers tyranny the ultimate evil. Every harm done to others, from slander to theft to animal cruelty to genocide has tyranny at its core. Without it, none of that can occur.

The worst humans do has never been enough to cause God to make us His puppets. Because God cannot be evil. Humans can, though, and humans chose evil. God didn't choose it for us. But if you choose to blame God, you do you. If you're lucky, He's only amused by it.

Any entity capable of creating everything from nothing (which precipitates hordes of additional questions) understands my desire to protect my family, race, culture and nation isn't one of aggression, but defense.

If God placed Evil, and Leftist Authoritarians as a free will challenge to be overcome, he is pleased with me. See you in Heaven, but keep your gunpowder dry, and avoid an early ascension.

Well, I'm glad to hear you're on the right side of the challenge! And yes, I am aware it is Biblical misinterpretation when people think we're supposed to be like sheep led to the slaughter by the evil ones. When people ask "What would Jesus do?", they shouldn't forget that chasing people with a whip and flipping over tables is within the realm of possibility.

The Bible does repeatedly make clear that the path is narrow and that only a "remnant" will not be deceived. Everyone should strive to be part of that remnant. God bless...
