“Christians are not so much in danger when they are persecuted as when they are admired.” - C.H. Spurgeon

That’s not what the followers of Jesus would rather for you or anyone else. That’s what some, not all, of the enemies of Jesus would rather for the followers of Jesus. ”We do not use the weapons of the world” are the words spoken in scripture by a follower of Jesus, not by an enemy of Jesus...
