We do not condone evil period ! We don’t have to bash there heads with our fists but we do need to raise our fists and say fight fight fight for our right to stand against everything that is evil !
1 Kings 18:38-40 - "Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.” Then Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape.” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there."
it's hard because I have a very strong intuition that the answer to how we achieve ultimate victory is through great love, yes even towards our enemies, these wicked, evil people.
Somehow I know THAT is how a great miracle will manifest.
but that also seems completely impossible.
Perhaps on a greater time scale it is correct.
But on our earthly time scale it is only a far off dream.
If we were to fail, it will be because it is the one thing we haven't tried
They want us scared, silent and powerless.
And failing that, should you speak out,
They want us angry, bitter and divided
This is their great and only 'power'
The answer is very simple but it is very hard to do.
On the one hand, we must Fight Fight Fight
but ultimately, we have to rise above.
Matthew 5:38
It's very hard right now to see the way.
John 13:34
how do we keep this commandment and resist the temptation to hate and be bitter, and not be blown away by this evil.
I don't have the answer.
But God is great. Our compassion and mercy is limited, his is not.
I pray that there will be a way

You do not make peace with evil, you DESTROY it.
I agree
Reminds me of Elisha vs the prophets of Baal on mount Carmel.
1 Kings 18:38-40 - "Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.” Then Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape.” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there."
