Even the Christian edict of "turn the other cheek" could spell out our doom.

And here you have a dilemma I have wrestled with, as taken to an extreme, it could spell the doom of Christianity as well. And almost did, in the past, with the rise of the Ottoman empire.

Turning the other cheek is a sign of faith! If Christianity is based on the truth that Jesus is the Son of God and will return to rule forever then how can anything spell the doom of christianity? If however you believe christianity can be destroyed then you really have no need of it, indeed you make it that it has need of you.

Jesus died on a cross, why didn't He struggle and fight and resist His 'doom'?
