Hyperbole, parables, figures of speech are all tools which the Lord used.

For you to equate such to lies is disingenuous and ignorant. Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Jesus did not turn the other cheek. Jesus does not lie. Therefore Jesus was using hyperbole to illustrate a point.

The point was (and, if you knew your Bible, you might know this) that the Jews had been misusing "an eye for an eye" for centuries. That's the misconception He was correcting.

Spend less time posting about things of which you obviously know very little, and more time actually reading.

Either way, I'm through with this thread. I think you're one of those people who refuse to be confused by facts.
