“He instructed them to turn the other cheek, and to suffer wrong for Righteousness sake.”

Being murdered in your home by an illegal has nothing to do with “righteousness.” Neither has having your guns confiscated by our new “president-for-life.”

Turning the other cheek is an admonition not to return a public insult, not an admonition not to turn away from a truly violent act.

Let's face it, if someone merely slaps you on the cheek, you are not really being mortally assaulted, you a merely being insulted and humiliated in public.

Christ did not say if someone comes at you with a knife, let him kill you.Turning the other cheek means do not return insult for insult, or humiliation for humiliation.

It really has NOTHING to do with a violent physical attack.
