The *turning the other cheek* passage is about letting insults go, not about not defending oneself.

The *turning the other cheek* passage is about letting insults go, not about not defending oneself.I believe you are correct MM. If I recall correctly, the way to insult a man, was to slap his face, pull his beard, and spit in his face. A man is not required to stand by, while his wife and children are slaughtered. In a case like that, he is justified in kicking rears, and taking names. 😁👍
