Did the early Christians resist as they were being put to death? Or did people marvel at how well they died? I am not taking these situations lightly , but we must be honest with ourselves.

They were put to death because they were captured. Paul evaded capture at times. Though when confronted by authorities for the gospel,if there was no way to escape I would not resist. However, revolution against evil is a different topic altogether IMO. Are you saying the American Revolution was a sin?
