Ok. I’ll concede the semantics. Yes, revolt isn’t always violent. It’s sometimes civil disobedience. I was using it in relation to violent revolution ala the American Revolution. That’s the topic of this section of the thread. Now Im done...

Sure, but he still didn’t try to overthrow his king.

I’m not arguing for a monarchy. I detest the concept. God wasn’t so crazy about it either. I’m just trying to flesh out the scriptural justification for a violent overthrowing of a monarch or any sovereign ruler. It’s lacking. After internal...

No, I prefer exporting all pedos and similar to their own special island somewhere nowhere important. Probably close to polar regions. And death penalty only if they return. What execution lovers here don't get it is that Law doesn't contain...
