Two different points here. Since the government is temporary and God's kingdom eternal you must “Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar’s and unto God that which is God's” meaning don't lose your salvation for temporary issues. So you fight the government you disagree with through peaceful means, voting, protesting etc.

Second point. You do as Jesus did, never compromise with evil.

I think the point of Bible study tonight was to think about our representatives and instead of saying “you have to be against xyz because my beliefs demand it”, we should ask them what they need us to pray about for them. This will have them beside themselves.

This the my Biblical understanding too! It needs much further understanding by Christians and newbies to the faith...
