we can still protect the innocent.
we can still defend ourselves.
in this age one can lob devices that destroy cities halfway across the world. so much for being able to even get close enough to share Jesus with them.
governments are instituted by God, Godly ones, to protect their people and administer justice and keep the internal peace. you cannot just let these outside powers roll over us because we’re Christian, that is an abrogation of government protecting their people.
See my comment just above.
