I have been having this same debate recently.
The bible tells people to love their enemies and embrace the persecution. To rise up against evil by defeating evil with love. That is the ideal path and often works.
Yet, the American Revolution and the formation of America spread Gods word and looking back, the violence and uprising that took place then must have been God's will (right?)
During the American Revolution - America defeated the British by barbaric (at the times) tactics. The British would march to the battle field and expect Americans to line up and fight based on their rules of war. American's fought with guerilla war-fare and the British could not comprehend this.
Currently, Patriots are fighting based on a rule book that is not being followed. The constitution and rules mean nothing to our enemy.
Q has asked us to be non-violent. The Bible is of peace.
I have been praying for discernment and justice for years and I am torn about the path forward. God is for justice and we need Him to show us the path to victory. Evil is standing against God in every way and they are using God's word in defiance with their woke church/movement. God can move mountains but there is always a person who is called to move the people alongside w/ Gods protection.
