“So, it’s impossible for a court and a judge to be wrong, unethical, bought, etc.?”

Due process doesn’t mean the court will never make a mistake. It means you get a reasonable shot at being judged by the law of the land.

In many states, it is against the law to refuse a business request by a homosexual that would be done for a heterosexual. The problem is that ‘homosexual rights’ and ‘religious rights’ conflict, and the courts often come down against religious belief. The state legislatures COULD fix it, but they refuse - which is good evidence that Christians are not anything like a majority. In popular opinion in America, homosexuals are admired more than “judgmental evangelicals”.

So we will lose, with increasing frequency, in the legislatures and courts. When you are fined, will you kill a banker who has transferred the money IAW the law? Will you kill the cop who arrests you? Will you be a martyr, or a murderer? What example did the Apostles set? What example did Jesus give?

The Pacifism interpretation of Scripture and Christianity doesn't hold water.

Christ said he who has none should sell his coat and buy a sword.

Christ didn't say go into all the world to encourage tourism and He didn't say to buy a sword so His followers would look nice in parades.

Christianity has collapsed in this country in large part because it began preaching the doctrine of retreating before evil and submitting to evil rather than confronting evil.

People who will go quietly to the cattle cars as long as the legal machine has obeyed it's own rules aren't Christians or citizens, they're lost sheep headed to the slaughter first and Hell after that.
