Post the entire verse, it says : 39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Nobody is fully evil environment and education bears the brunt of evil acts, religion can both give a person morality but also drive a person to horrible acts

just means, to be, not to repay it with evil but to walk away. it doesn't mean being a push over tho and allowing yourself to be used and abused.

Thats what judaism or the enemies would want, is for you to forgive your enemies. I can understand the whole if you fight back fire with fire you are no different than they are but...thats not how it went down in the past, you crushed your enemies before they crushed you. They wouldnt show you the same mercy in those days

Read the small print. Selling your soul to the devil for short term materialistic goals will lead to an eternity of the devils will, be that endless barbed wire colonoscopies or kicking back smoking blunts with ya boy bighorns.

@ ladibud - 2.05.19 - 07:58am just means, to be, not to repay it with evil but to walk away. it doesn't mean being a push over tho and allowing yourself to be used and abused. actually it kind of does mean that but it turns it around, you see if you do it willingly then you deny them the very act of being evil, it almost in a sense nullifies evil. and in not resisting will soften the evil and the consequences of the resistance of evil so to speak. for example someone comes up to you and wants you shirt, and you say no, so he stabs you and takes your shirt, but if you give him your shirt and also offer him your jacket then in most cases that man may walk away a different person just from seeing such a act of kindness You have heard that it was said, Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. it certainly does not guide you to walk away |
