In other words, nothing that wasn't already covered in the Torah under, "Do not seek revenge".Jesus was as nasty during that sermon as he was anywhere else he quoted.What words?
So you don't believe in the words of Jesus?
Be precise.
The Sermon on the Mount.
What did Jesus mean when He instructed us to turn the other cheek?
From the same article. That was a good one. There are also lessons on being angery. Matter of fact, jesus even for angry. Then the “eye for an eye” thing. Whatever. Good stuff.
To "turn the other cheek," does not imply pacifism, nor does it mean we place ourselves or others in mortal danger. Like the principle of the eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth in Matthew 5:38, turning the other cheek refers to personal retaliation, not criminal offenses or acts of military aggression.
Yep...The NT...real original.
