I could not disagree more. Christians are to seek God and love their fellow man. “Justice is mine sayeth the Lord”. It is his job. Not ours.

My reading of scripture admonishes against taking revenge, which is separate from seeking justice. If someone harms you it is appropriate to seek recompense and to have a transgressor punished. It is extremely difficult, even for a wise person, to see the line between punishment and revenge which is why we have judges set sentences or determine compensation instead of victims.

John 14:6 says it all.

It’s always been about Jesus.
It will always be about Jesus.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Don’t let others tell you differently.

God has authorized governments to carry out His Justice, and expects them to do so.

Here in the USA, We The People are the government. Not vigilantes, but responsible as citizens and voters. Of course, as such we can only do our best.
