Some Christians are asking when is it right to fight against the existing civil power structure. Consider the following:
The new George Washington University poll conducted by YouGov between June 4 and June 23 [2021] asked 1,753 registered voters if a time will come when “patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands.” The poll found that 47% of Republicans agreed that there would be a time when patriotic Americans will have to take the law into their own hands. Only 9% of Democrats foresaw a situation in the country where they would need to take the law into their own hands.
The concerning poll also discovered that 55% of Republicans supported the possible use of force to preserve the “traditional American way of life,” compared to 15% of Democrats.[1]
If these same Americans can’t get enough votes to throw out politicians who are acting in bad faith and contrary to their oath to uphold the Constitution, what makes anyone think there would be enough people “to take the law into their own hands” to fix what’s wrong with the United States? If there were enough people to fix what’s wrong, it would be done. But there aren’t because too many are feeding at the government trough. Nearly 90 percent of Americans believe that education is “free,” and if they had to pay the full freight, they would rebel. We could stop the tyrants in their tracks if all those who want “to take the law into their own hands” would take the law into their own hands and abandon the government schools. There is no law stopping them!
