There is another new thread on FR right now advocating, basically, no resistance beyond prayer. Those Christians prioritize the “turn the other cheek” admonition while disregarding other, greater, admonitions that basically add up to having self-respect for oneself and love for others (the 2nd Greatest Commandment). How can one love their neighbors by turning away while some neighbors are aborted with government approval, and others are robbed, swindled, brainwashed, and have their freedoms taken away by their own government sworn to protect them?
Christ fought back, with action, with parables, with sly comments, with a group of supporters he called and trained to carry on the work of resisting and changing bad aspects of the world society in which he lived.
