Yes, but only until you run out of cheeks

Most people don’t realize that number is 4 unfortunately

Turning the other cheek is one of the most if not the most misinterpreted scripture in the Bible.

It doesn’t mean we let people walk all over us.

Also, the Bible mentions righteous anger.
There are times when anger is not sin.....e.g. if an elderly person is being beaten up and you step in and beat the snot outta the attacker I would consider that righteous anger and not sin.
