I’m a peace through strength kind of a guy. The Lord tells me the ideal way to live a life worthy of Jesus. But evil exists. And evil only understands evil. So I have to walk the path best I can. But I also have to be ready and able to respond to evil when necessary.

evil only understands evil

And revenge only knows revenge. Unless you break free from thinking as the evil think, you are stuck in an endless downward spiral.

If you believe in the Lord, then believe his instructions: Do not be overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

No, more like the potential for revenge stops evil.
