“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.
But that is exactly what the left means when they call for "civility" from the right.
Civility means they win because their definition of civility means you can't fight for what you believe in because that is disparaging of what they believe in, which is uncivil.
Jesus' statement above dealt with the issue of personal revenge or retaliation, not self-defense.
Romans 12:19 tells us: Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a] says the Lord.
Revenge and defending one's self and one's physical well being therefore are two distinctly separate things.
