As Christians, we must heed Christ's DEMAND of us and turn the other cheek. Any attack on these terrorists is simply spitting in Jesus' face. Let us all bow our heads in prayer that Jesus' Will will be carried out. Amen

As INDIVIDUAL Christians we are to turn the other cheek(except protecting our families)BUT as a nation,we have every right to defend ourselves! According to your interpretation, this nation should just sit back and let ourselves get bombed back to the stone age! Unbelievable!

Too bad God was too busy to stop any of this from happening.
To: BettyBowers,Christian
uh, yeah, and send the signal that we are weak on terrorism and won't do anything about it---so they do it again in a month or whenever. That's the ticket.

We're gonna kick bin Ladens can around the block for drill. And Arafat has the life expectancy of a house fly. Turning the other cheek is what killed 20,000 Americans. We tried the flower child approach for 8 years and got nothing but a lot of dead people. No more. As usual, the pacifists will be dragged kicking and screaming into doing the right thing and later thank those of who can step up and kick ass.

Betty, Jesus said turn the other cheek to verbal insults, not to suicidal murdering plane thieves.

As Christians, we must heed Christ's DEMAND of us and turn the other cheek.The Old Testament is in the Bible, too. It is inspired as well (if you are a Christian, you surely believe this). I recall the part about "an eye for an eye."

Shame on you. Read the whole counsel of God - the 13th chapter of the Book of Romans:
exerpt:"Then do what is right and he [governing authority] will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrong-doer"(v.4).

Turn the other cheek?
I lean more towards an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, cubed, in spades, times infinity.

It's OK. You're not stupid, just a classic "disruptor". Moreover, you're undoubtedly a genuine "mental case".
A "gentle" suggestion, however. How about you exchange places with one of those Christian Missionaries recently captured by the Taliban, so YOU can "sign-up for the opportunity to be raped and slaughtered like the (non-moslem) Infidel Christian Dog-Whore you are ?
Hell, I'll even help you buy the plane ticket to Afghanistan.

You are sick and pathetic. Go and defend your homosexuality on another board that cares. Thousands die and you redicule and mock Christ. Sick.

After being graduated from Duke University, I sold real estate for Harry Norman Realty in Atlanta, Georgia. After many successful years of showing multi-million dollar mansions in the dogwood speckled glens of Buckhead, I decided that I would rather live in opulence, instead of making it available to those less deserving. God called me out of pandering to the needs of the inexplicably wealthy and promised that if I devoted my fabulous business instincts to Him, I would one day never have to share a formal, Italianate living room, much less a German SUV, with someone more wealthy than I. Praise the Lord! My, how quaint. Perhaps you can also devote some of your "fabulous business instincts" to raising funds for relief efforts directed towards the carnage in New York City and D.C.

As Christians, we must heed Christ's DEMAND of us and turn the other cheek. Any attack on these terrorists is simply spitting in Jesus' face. Let us all bow our heads in prayer that Jesus' Will will be carried out. Amen Hi. My dear sister, I believe you need to read the Bible a little more carefully.
In the passage in Matthew where Jesus speaks of turning the other cheek, he is speaking to the Pharasees who twisted the Law of Moses to suit their own personal adgenda. In this case, they actually used the Mosaic Law to justify their own sinful acts of revenge. And they taught the people that this was what Moses taught.
Jesus was strongly attacking the false teachings of the Pharasees and the religious system they had put in place.
Jesus never said in this passage that justice should not be pursued. On the contray, justice is demanded. Also, as a follower of Christ, I have a duty to stand up against injustice. When injustice is being commited against innocent people it is my duty to intervene. Jesus never taught us to stand on the sidelines yelling at victims to turn the other cheek.
In addition, the Law of Moses (and Paul restates this in the New Testament) teaches that the State is empowed by God to administer justice.
Please do not confuse the concepts of speaking against scripture twisting and religion (as Jesus did) with the concepts of justice and revenge and self-defense. God bless you.

Was it not Christ himself that ordered his disciples to purchase a sword with the shirt off their back ?

As Christians, we must heed Christ's DEMAND of us and turn the other cheek. Any attack on these terrorists is simply spitting in Jesus' face. Let us all bow our heads in prayer that Jesus' Will will be carried out. Amen Screw you. My countrymen, and some of my loved ones, were attacked and killed for no good reason. Take your scripture and shove it. Destroy these cretins before they destroy more of my loved ones. Sorry for being so direct. But from my early days, all I can remember about scripture is: eye for eye"....
