C.S. Lewis once commented that when Jesus said “not to resist evil” do you think that He meant that you should just stand there while your neighbor is being criminally assaulted (paraphrased.)

I'm coming up blank with that one. Where did Jesus tell us not to resist evil?

Are you sure your post 29 was intended for me? I didn’t state anything that could be construed as Jesus wanting us to ‘stand by while our neighbor was being assulted’.

If you re read my original, I indicate the opposite, actually.
