In The Bible, Jesus taught to never be violent. He said to not return evil with evil, but to return evil with love. He said to love our enemies.

So, no a Christian should not use violence in protests.

AnswerMost Christians refuse to use violence in protests because:
  • Jesus said revenge was wrong and he urged people to forgive others "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us"
  • Most people realise that the press and the media are more likely to cover the story if they refuse to use violence. Using violence makes them no better than their enemies and the people they are protesting against.
  • Peaceful methods of protest can work just as well (e.g marches, letters, speeches, petitons)

Another answer:

No, Christians should never resort to violent protests. Sadly, many forget that their most powerful weapon against injustice is PRAYER!
