As Christ said, love the Lord thy God with all they heart might, mind, and strength. But if the world kills you, can you love? Therefore you must defend yourself if they seek to wipe you from the earth.
This is where the world is coming up against Christianity. Christianity demands perfect self sacrifice, but it resists because people are sinful and not completely loyal, they want to live. And if they can let themselves live, they want to thrive too. The floodgates for Christian weakness and desire to survive are opening. And they will not close until once again Christians can thrive in safety.
Instead of dying under the sword of debt and slavery and poison, sinful Christians are dying in number enough to unify. A whole generation betrayed is a whole generation of rebellion. Of the collapse of all that killed Christians. Until they live again free.
