Too long. We have turned the other cheek long enough. Even the Lord had his limits. We have hit ours.

Even the Lord had his limits.

Christ held back the bully!!

So must we.

And thank God our side loves Life and will do all we can to avoid bloodshed.

This is evidenced when you see our military and how they behaved in the face of Islam terror.

The locals in Iraq loved the American soldiers.

“Turn the other cheek”

does NOT mean never fight or defend yourself. I read an essay recently and according to that essay, in Biblical times a slap on the cheek was a personal insult. (Maybe like “yo momma” today?) The directive to turn the other cheek means to ignore personal insults.

It does NOT mean you shouldn’t fight.

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus told the disciples to arm themselves with swords.

If and when the shiite really hits the fan, I would suggest going after the leftist media whores first. They are the primary enablers of increased tension and violence. Then turn to the useful idiot thugs.

Least understood and most misrepresented verse in the Bible.
