Jesus didn't tell you to kneel before the commies. To accept degeneracy. "As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear."

What to do about faithless commies that deny Jesus or the Son? "Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works."

I'm still a newb, so if I am "taking it out of context", I would rather you bring forth the needed understanding than using rhetorical questions. What I did find is that reading the bible for myself is giving me an entirely different understanding than the one I've been taught and Jesus is full of strength and mighty, one could say Godly, power.

I haven't come to the pray for my enemies part of the bible. To be honest, the first half of the book is about how God destroys anyone who just as much as looks at his people in the wrong way and Jesus doesn't seem to be much forgiving to the cities that don't kindly welcome his disciplies either. In fact, from what I've read, Christians wouldn't be asking if they can please not bake that gay cake, lol. As if they needed permission from disbelievers.

You’re wrong. Why did Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, saw Jesus personally, and perform many miracles, willingly suffer so much at the hands of Jews and gentiles alike? Surely it was not because they were stronger than Christ, but because it glorified Christ for Paul to be merciful towards them in the same way God was to him.

The world loves violence, and bloodshed. The nation’s roar and harm each other as they always have, but God’s kingdom stands firm. Jesus is still at the right hand of God, and it is better for a Christian of little faith to be put to death for Jesus, whom the communists boast against, than for him to fight them. Even pagans can kill communists, but who can kill the faith that comes from God? That man or woman who died at their hands will live forever, but the communists who never repented will be forever dead, and suffering.

Likewise, it makes no sense for a follower of Christ to fight violence with violence, because a true follower of Christ has mercy as God gave mercy to him. Not a spirit of wrath, but of grace. Not a spirit of boasting, but humility. For the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.

Jesus himself drove the moneychangers from the temple with a whip.

Why? Because they were oppressing people and using their power to stand between the people and God. Communists do the same, and I reckon Jesus would have owned an AR-15 and might just have used it.

Actually the real reason, as Jesus said himself, was that his temple was supposed to be, "A house of prayer". Killing communists because they're taking over a country which had no problem killing children in their mother's womb is kinda different.
