Shots Fired at White House Correspondents Dinner

[Judas Maccabeus]

Nonetheless, he wrote extensively about how sometimes assassinating someone is OK if they are evil enough; in essence, he argued against nonresistance.

All Lutherans of the period would have argues against nonresistence, as would Bonhoeffer. He is, in fact, a Lutheran.

The only ones that might argue for nonresistance are the Laestadian Lutheran Church, and that is iffy.

Hence why I am often puzzled why some Anabaptists look up to him as some kind of thinker on nonresistance; one of the defining characteristics of nonresistance is that we don't go and kill evil people and otherwise use force to do things that are obviously good.

Generally, his strong suit is the nature of grace and discipleship. Reading it, though, you have to remember that he was a Lutherian, so he tends to defend Luther, even when he says things that don't line up with scripture.

That’s fair. Nearly all Christians disagree with us on nonresistance. It’s just the way it is.

All Christians believe Jesus words about non-resistance but apply it to personal situations. However I realize not all professing Christians practice it as we should.
