Stopping evil is good, not fighting evil with evil

Fighting evil with evil is prohibited

Yet we see violence is not

This doesn't mean it's universally ok

why does He then command us to turn the other cheek? all of the verses that you cite about the usage of the "sword" are very metaphoric and could be interpreted differently

i've always taken sword in "i've come to bring a sword" as meaning justice

Christ is bringing justice to the world, and Christians are fighting every day, though battles not physical but spiritual

Evil and Good does not inherently exist

are you a non-denominational.

Same as what is Normal or Unnormal

I have no denomination as most are cringe

okay then, opinion disregarded

sorry but take at least a bit of time to examine Christian denominations. I'm sure the apostolic churches have more of a grasp of Christology than you do

@Draško when someone offends you personally, turn the other cheek. That's the last thing you do to real moral evil however.

so if you have, say, a sodomite, who is engaging in an objective act of evil, do you see violence against them as the first and intrinsically corect decision?

Nothing wrong with Sodomy<:depress:591181860420321280>

Of course not, but an obstinate heretic who purposefully acts for evil should be punished.

You should inform them, and try to help them personally

If you can't help them, vigilante justice isn't the solution

@Draško are you protestant?

no

Good

Are you ortho or Catholic

i'm EO

EO?

eastern orthodox

Ah

Why

1. i was born into it
2. from what i've seen seems much closer to the apostolic vision of christianity than roman catholicism

R u prot
Typical divide and conquer Jew

papal supremacy is one thing that i have to hand to romists that there are a lot of arguments for

but in general i feel as if orthodoxy is as close to original christianity as you can get

if not exactly the same thing

EO are not the same thing, they are heretics

no, i'm orthodox catholic

you're thinking of oriental orthodox

miaphysites and monophysites

and nestorians

No

Everyone I don't agree with theologically is a heretics that includes the orthodbros, and Protestants cuz yea tradition or something I think let me ignore the numerous congregational churches in the Bible
