It sounds good to say:
I'm not about violence; be it physical, emotional, or verbal.
But not all violence is bad. "With violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down." i "The day of the Lord comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger." ii And "wounds of a friend" are "faithful." iii
- Revelation 18:
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.
- Isaiah 13:
9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes,
Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,
To lay the land desolate;
And He will destroy its sinners from it. - Proverbs 27:
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
