Fighting, even with deadly weapons, is not necessarily about vengeance, and it is not necessarily forbidden.

It is a last recourse. But it IS a recourse.
“Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war...”
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven . . . A time of war, And a time of peace.
I hope this is not a time for war, but that decision is always in the hands of those who oppose God's will. We can only respond appropriately.
