Turning the other cheek doesn't mean "roll over and play dead."
This is nothing like what the Apostles did.
“Many churches spread the gospel of passivity. Passive people don’t challenge anything.

Exactly right. Well said. On top of the reality that more often than not, church revenue is a priority over morality. Such as the case with hiding behind “compassionate humanitarianism” by aiding and abetting illegal immigrants coming into the country for donations and government subsidies.

Weak accommodationists have used this to excuse cowardice in all things. It may, I emphasize may, be an appropriate response to a physical threat. But it is in no way an appropriate response to sin and violation of God’s laws.
One citation settles that:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2010%3A34-36&version=ESV
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.
You are SO RIGHT.....
Speaking the truth and challenging wrong was exactly what the Apostles did.
That is why they were put to death, many of them... for the gospel sake!!
