You know, in the Bible, it states if you 'live by the sword, you will die by the sword'. I used to think that that was directed at believers but now, when re-reading that scripture, it would appear to be a warning to those that would attack believers. "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.." Rev 13:10
In that light, we must not be the aggressor so go ahead maniacs, use violence, just remember it will be turned back on you
The early Christians managed to survive te biggest military and political system of their time by the patience and the faith of the saints .
