This is NOT a debate topic, so please don't delete this mods...



My question is...

I recall reading in the bible one time regarding... A man being hit in the face, and he should fight back, but instead, he should turn the other cheek...

The moral was that one day, the person hitting him will learn his own wrong doings and we should not hit back...


Now the verse, page number, whatever? I'm clueless!

Thanks every one! happy.gif

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:38:45 RSV)
