"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
Weak. All points weak. Peaceful protesting is my GOD given right. I guess we are cherry picking the constitution like we are bible verses.

That is taught in many apostolic churches. I disagree with it for the record.

You could argue that when Jesus flipped over the tables (Matt 21:12) that was protesting.

If Christians are never to protest or peacefully resist authority... why have untold millions of Christians been executed throughout history? Every refusal to bow before man or idol was a protest. Every refusal to kill for the empire, burn incense, or refusal to cease meeting was a peaceful protest against authority. Every sermon and anointed proclamation against injustice, sin, exploitation, abuse, and abomination is a protest.
Frankly, it can be said that in a lot of ways... being a Christian requires protest in one form or another. Some Christians resisted the institutional injustices of their day so heavily that they became historically known as... PROTESTants.
