Do not worship violence, which is what the tweet seemingly alludes to.
We are to be warriors, that is correct! However, the battleground is in our minds. "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" -- 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Seek the Lord. Study His Word. Love Him with all your heart, soul, and mind. These are the most important things for a Christian man. The ferocious Christian men she talks about were tortured, stoned to death, crucified. Even then, they didn't seek to destroy their enemies, but to save them.
In modern times, it is the same. Be ferociously serving the Lord, protecting your family, raising your children in a godly manner. Reject the world and its depravity. Of course we are to stand firm in the midst of wickedness and degeneracy! God doesn't want us to just roll over and submit to everything that is "politically correct". God doesn't want us to be accepting of all the left's insanity. Now more than ever, men have to be strong in the Lord, stand firm in His commandments, and live a life God wants us to have.
I prefer the analogy of Jesus flipping over the tables rather than dressing up as a Templar.
I agree with everything you said except that you must be ready to also use violence. We all saw that ISIS treated Christians like sheep when they slashed throats. Stop being a sheep and be a lion.
Self-defense sometimes does require violence, of course. If ISIS, antifa, blm, or any other person/group is intending to harm someone and/or their loved ones, we are permitted to protect ourselves and fight back. It's the glorification of vengeance and reckless retaliation that is unbiblical and misleading.
When they came to arrest Jesus, Peter fought back and cut off someone's ear. Christ rebuked him for this. It wasn't for the act of self-defense, rather for Peter's unwise decision. God's plan was for Christ to die on the cross for our salvation, and Peter's actions stood in the way of that. We must discern, with God's help, when is the right time and the right way to act.
