Hitler used religion in the same way as Trump does, to further his own violent agenda.Quick search: AH raised as Catholic, claimed he was some sort of Protestant in a speech, but privately hated all religion and was an atheist.

What country do you live in?It will all ring hollow when you wake up to a nation on fire and economically annihilated.
There will be no new nation under anyone, both sides are pressing the wine all will have to drink.
The yawning mouth of hell is about to close on your nation, Trump is the least of your problems.
Intent doesn't matter as much as what actually happened. Our nation's capital was stormed for the first time since the war of 1812. The VP was threatened with hanging. A woman was killed. The House chamber was seized. Offices of congressmen were broken into and items were stolen. All of these things were done by people flying Trump and Confederate banners. What's next for these Nazi's?I think they (the courts) need to take a step back and ask what they are trying to accomplish.
Did they (the people involved in the Jan 6 riots) interfere with the execution of a federal law? Yes, of course they did.
But I don't think their intent was more than protest.
They took it too far, many probably influenced by mob mentality.
Sometimes the rule of law needs to be tempered with common sense and the decency to move on.
So, if Christians gets bey God’s to obey the law when the 2nd A is legally repealed according to the constitutional process, they become complicit with “evil” and responsible for spilled blood?…
If you comply with evil you are responsible for every drop of blood an evil spills.
What country do you live in?
Actually, just a few months prior, the capitol was “stormed” by BLM activists and a church was burned and police attacked.Intent doesn't matter as much as what actually happened.

That is very convoluted thinking.

No, I don’t suppose it did and never said otherwise.Disarmament at a societal level in Germany removed all deterrence to Hitler’s agenda.
55 million people were killed, 3 times that number were maimed and injured.
Legal disarmament did not lead to the fluffy bunnies and rainbow puppies people hoped it would.
No, I don’t suppose it did and never said otherwise.
That doesn’t change scripture and our duty toward God not to rebel against the government.

We're suppose to be distracted by the manufactured riot in order to take our attentions away from the manufactured theft of our lawful votes that would have seated Trump for a second term.I think they (the courts) need to take a step back and ask what they are trying to accomplish.

Perhaps all that would have happened, but we never will know. Perhaps such resistance would have pushed Hitler’s aggression back many years, until he perfected the Atom bomb and proceeded to conquer the whole world, killing hundreds of millions instead of tens of millions.They did not have to rebel just not comply. Passive resistance is a Christian principle, and would have made the difference in this case.
Imagine 16 million armed German men not handing in their rifles, thats twice the number of Hitler’s whole war machine.
It would have totally daunted and deterred his plans and his tyranny, it would turned him pale to know such a potentially massive force was out there. Can’t arrest that number, can’t alienate that number, it would have been a nightmare for Hitler.
But men complying with evil lead to the greater evil.
Societal disarmament is proven evil in our time.
Yes, no matter what happens, Christians are not to use violence toward the government, imo.No matter what, right?

Speculation about what could of happened has no limits.
I don’t believe that Christians, acting in good conscience complying with government laws by turning in weapons and following scripture by refusing to rebel, can somehow be blamed for evil deeds.
That is just poor reasoning at best, and slander at worst.

"That doesn’t change scripture and our duty toward God not to rebel against the government."Those who cooperate with evil share in its sin and judgement.

Thanks for the conversationYou are advocating cooperation and complying with the evil regime, that’s not a Christian principal. Those who do comply with evil will face the same judgement, you share in its sins. You complied and supported the evil.
Gandhi ran with the Christian principle of passive resistance, non cooperation and non compliance with different evils and won a nation relatively bloodlessly. Well at least no blood shed on his account.
Societal disarmament is a historically proven evil, making people defenceless and removing the natural right of self defence is evil. You might want to ask why a regime wants people defenceless and vulnerable. Are they promising fluffy bunnies and rainbow puppies.
