Way OUT OF CONTEXT... if he used it right.
Love Your Enemies 38"You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.' 39"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.⦠Matthew 5:38
Exodus 21:
23”But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, 24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
So we shouldn't have fought world war II when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor?
Should we have had no response after the World Trade Center was destroyed?
How many lawsuits in this country are brought on by Christians? Shouldn't they have turned the other cheek? Or is it OK to get slapped and then sue for damages?
