You're misinterpreting that part. Evil wins when good men do not judge other for their actions in this world. The final judgement is not ours as they are still a child of God but no where does it tell you to let evil happen. That is NOT what no judgement means.
I'm not misinterpreting anything. Jesus told us to forgive while we love everyone in the way we love just as much as he told us to judge with righteous judgment in John 7:24. We aren't to seek vengeance. Scripture is clear. That is reserved for God. Scroll up and find the word "revenge" in the comment I first responded to.
This isn't 'revenge' its JUSTICE for the criminally insane who did this to face. The Lord did not put us on this earth to let horrible things happen and just 'let it go' !
I was having anger issues when I learned all about the evil in our Great Country and the Lord led me to Luke 6:35 for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. If The Lord is kind to evil people well I need to be kind to everyone...
However, we should focus on what Scripture says about how we should act instead of trying to justify how we act on our own as wretched-hearted sinners. Don't hope evil on them. Hope they seek Christ, confess their sin, and repent before it is too late. 🙏
I'm not a wretched hearted sinner and neither are you or any born again believer. I'm a saved son of God with power. If you still are wretched sinner you have the wrong savior. This self deprecating false humility is why Christians are spiritually weak. Its prideful o deny the goodness that God has done in us through the perfect Works of Jesus Christ. To still call your self wretched who God has cleansed from all unrighteousness refutes truth and is a slap in God's face.
At some point, we may be called for more. Pastor Al Pitman of Calvary Chapel Colorado springs said it best "Inspiration is of the spirit, perspiration is of the flesh"
With all respect, I chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. It is the wonderful Law of cause & effect. You believe in a God, I believe in the Lotus Sutra, the Law. This Law of cause and effect is also threaded into many other world religions.
With all respect, I must correct you: I believe in THE God. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life. John 14:6
Jesus is very well known and respected throughout many world religions, including Buddhism. Ask yourself why Jesus is present in so many world religions when other world religions aren't present in Christian canon.
I've now prayed for you that God compels you with the Holy Spirit to seek Him, turn to Christ, and to confess your sins and repent before it's too late. Jesus loves you, fren.
1Peter2:14 says that government’s job is to punish the ones who do bad things. It isn’t vengeance to want to punish —that is justice. it’s vengeance when we personally take the law into our own hands to get even
interesting. In the USA the highest authority is 'We The People" -- maybe consider some have darkness as their light. When this happens light needs punished. this is how God created it. The first Chapter of the Bible shows us that light is good. Darkness is void of light because darkness was there before light existed.
when the government takes the power from the people in the USA it creates division which is natural. The people start believing that government is god and will even worship their god. The light is the natural enemy of this darkness, rather it is impossible to stop light if it exists.
back to your example--...government's job is to punish the ones who do bad things... well in the USA it is We The People's job to do such.
I do not think there is a way for the USA to survive if we continues to blame others and claim some magical body is supposed to do what are to do. If the people do not act the enemy will continue to devour until there is no enemy to the darkness that survives.
God does not need us to extinguish this woke mind virus and evil doers. God will demand all the glory of what is to come if USA survives. That I will say.
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good
Hmmm. My bible says vengeance belongs to God. Not man. Man runs governments and contrary to popular belief God didn't miraculously put people in charge of our secular lives v
Vengeance belongs to God. We MUST forgive and leave ALL judgment to Him.

I see you already forgot the content of the comment to which I replied. Here it is again with the important part(s) in bold:
If it were about justice, it would say I want justice.
Have a blessed day!

I disagree with you. So would Paul. I recommend you give Romans 7 a good re-read.
I also want to open up dialogue to see where our theology differs.
Where does repentance stand in your life as a Christian?
Only God is good, friend.
You pretty okay too. -- Mr. Miagi 🥋
I don't believe we're ever told to forget, just forgive.

We can seek Justice. That is what I want. You can forgive all the people that did this are evil. I am a Buddhist and not obligated to “forgive.”
I pray that God compels you with the Holy Spirit to seek Him, turn to Christ, and to confess your sins and repent.
Justice doesn't come with revenge. Vengeance does. We aren't to be vengeful. Please re-read this thread.

Speaking out & wanting Justice is not revenge.
