Do you think that’s what you are doing, A-G, or is that what you are being told you are doing, either interiorly or from your co-religionists here on this thread?

"Turn the other cheek" applies to all Christians.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. - Matthew 5:38-48

If you are aware of an instance where I have failed to "turn the other cheek" please let me know.

To God be the glory!

I'm not a religionist.. Not a religious bone in my body..
Jesus came to make ALL religion obsolete, and DID..
Christianity according to Jesus is not supposed to be a religion..
And its not, its a family.. that you MUST be born into..
You are either part of the family or NOT..
