That's half the Gospel. Jesus kingdom will be of this world and his servants will fight.Overcome evil with good? Love your enemies? Do good to those who hate you? Pray for those who despitefully use you? Turn the other cheek? Etc etc. You are confusing the church with kingdoms/governments of this world. Jesus' kingdom is NOT of this world.......if it were, then would His servants fight.
- Jesus will rule on earth with a rod of iron. Revelation 2:27
24 “I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, those who have not held to the teachings of Jezebel and who remain ignorant of the real meaning of what is called the deep things of Satan, I will not burden you with anything more. 25 Just keep on task, and keep the faith until I return.
26 “And as for those who conquer through faithfulness even unto death and continue to labor with Me until the close of the final curtain, I will give them authority over the nations.
27 And they will rule the nations with an iron scepter,
as fragile clay jars are shattered to pieces.[a]
As I received this authority from My Father, 28 I will bestow the morning star to the victor.
29 “Let the person who is able to hear, listen to and follow what the Spirit proclaims to all the churches.”
- Revelation 12:7 A battle broke out in heaven. Michael, along with his heavenly messengers, clashed against the dragon. The dragon and his messengers returned the fight, 8 but they did not prevail and were defeated. As a result, there was no place left for them in heaven.

- Matthew 1:1 An account[a] of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah,[c] the son of David, the son of Abraham.
[*]Notice that although Abraham came first, David is listed as the first ancestor. David, represents the political kingdom of this world and Abraham represents the priestly authority (in the line of Melchizedek)
And most sad of all, is your denial that God's ultimate plan of solving the problem of evil is the violent annihilation in the Lake of Fire and Second Death.
