Undoubtedly you have read something about the FBI raids in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
From that linked story, there’s this self-description of these people the FBI is taking into custody:
Jesus wanted us to be ready to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment. The only thing on earth to save the testimony and those who follow it, are the members of the testimony, til the return of Christ in the clouds. We, the Hutaree, are prepared to defend all those who belong to Christ and save those who aren’t. We will still spread the word, and fight to keep it, up to the time of the great coming … The Hutaree will one day see its enemy and meet him on the battlefield if so God wills it. We will reach out to those who are yet blind in the last days of the kingdoms of men and bring them to life in Christ.
Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses. Some, apparently, trust in “equipment”. Do yourself a favor today and, if anyone asks you or it comes up in conversation, make sure you say out loud that Jesus doesn’t ask us to be lawless men. The only end for lawless men is that they will be punished by the law.
The Gospel calls us to something else which exceeds the requirements of the law.
