I guess John Witherspoon is a "bad Christian" in your view then.

The fathers of the Reformation know a heck of a lot more than you about what is right in resisting tyranny. I will take their word over your case, which relies completely on one verse.

I guess St. Paul was a "bad" Christian in your view.

Even when he was unfairly charged and condemned to death by the Romans, he refused to flee when he had the opportunity. Remember when the ship carrying him to Rome was wrecked and St Paul was free to run way and hide in Malta?

He failed to resist tyranny and failed as a Christian according to your version of Christianity.

Btw, Protestants, especially Southern Baptists, frequently scold Catholic worshippers who kneel and pray in front of stone images.

Somehow, now the Southern Baptists are doing the same in front of an engraved stone representing the Ten Commandments, a stone written in a language that most of them cannot even understand, and these "Christians" bow and pray in front of their stone.
