That ‘turn the other cheek’ Scripture is used by the Alinsky crowd, just like the devil tempted Christ. (Twisting the Scripture) Turn the other cheek, when offense is caused or created by the Christian... Standing ground is NOT required to turn the other cheek... Too many Christians, join the ‘world’ and allow themselves to become second class citizens.

The ‘religious’ community of that time were the biggest opponents to Christ. Bunch of Scripture lawyers, nothing new under the sun, as it is Written.

Turning the other cheek is actually a form of defiance - of firmly standing one’s ground in the face of opposition.

It is not and never was a directive to behave like a passive masochist.
