>Clearly the days of turn the other cheek jive is over. I’m glad it went out the same door as it’s disciple. Good riddance to both..
Jesus said to “turn the other cheek,” not “Take it in the ass.” Also, what of the condemnation Esau recived for selling his [birth-]right? What about the admonition to do justly? (Micha 2:8) To, as said in Isaiah 58:6, “loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and brake every yoke” AND “to share your food with the hungry.” And were the Hebrews in Esther content to just lay down and let their enemies kill them because “that’s the law”? NO! They got another law passed that allowed them to gather together for self- and mutual-defense.
My point is this: we have inalienable, God-given rights, because we are made in His own image; there are things worth fighting for, and against.
