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!

Just for future reference, one website that can be used to search for a Bible passage when you know only a word or two, or the theme of the passage you're looking for, is at the following URL: http://www.btinternet.com/~markolus/search1.htm
The scripture that results is in the King James Version, unfortunately, but at least you can find the scripture and then look it up in a more modern translation that you may have at home. The trick is to use the most unusual word in the passage, like "cheek," rather than something like "hit," which, as you see from ConsumeMe's post, isn't even in the passage. The KJV translates the original Greek word as "strike," which is not a word we use much these days to mean "hit." You could also use the two-word phrase "the other," as in "the other cheek." That might bring a lot more references, but at least you wouldn't be having to look through the whole Bible.
