You refuse step one yourself: “Count the cost”. As laid down by Jesus Who was God Himself. He has a tad bit more authority than you do.

EWWWWwwww....another creepy response outta you. You misquote the Bible to advocate giving in to enemies that won’t even let us meet in church to worship? You think Chinese will be “tolerant” of Christianity, eh? *shudder*
I misquoted the bible ? When and where? You’re fullashiite.
When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River and ended the Roman Republic, there were perhaps 5 loyal republicist soldiers watching. And there was a guy like you scolding them for not taking on an entire army.
Notably, that guy who was so good at scolding others never went down the hill and fought the army himself. He was simply a provocateur, like you.
