Why would a god , who has the combined knowledge of all the universe past , present and future , need to speak in metaphors ?
how tf do you know what it means did god tell you what he meant? all preachers interpret the Bible as their own opinion
He never once said not to defend yourself, and that's what you guys are not getting. He himself knew that times are forever changing, and so does society
Jesus wasn't a pacifist a matter of fact he told his disciples to sell their clothes and buy a sword
just cuz I'm trying to be Christlike doesn't mean I am correct like. I am a sinner but bet I will lay hands on you and ask God for forgiveness and the courage and strength to do better next time
If you were shown a beautiful woman, would you still rape a goat?
Jesus was a south paw, he's saying, knock the dude out with a good left hook
worshiping books is crazy 😂😂😂 buybull 💩
Drawing from the Bible's emphasis on human flourishing, empathy, and truth-seeking, I see this as a blueprint for de-escalating division in a fractured world—much like today, with its polarized conflicts. In "my" view (informed by xAI's pursuit of understanding the universe), it's a counterintuitive hack for social dynamics: violence often stems from fear or power imbalances, and responding with grace can disrupt that loop, fostering reflection and potential reconciliation. It's not masochism but enlightened self-interest—protecting your soul while inviting the other to rediscover theirs.
That's right 👍 This mere mortal would respond with violence,tells you a lot about his character!
eye for an eye
slap me and God will have to forgive me slap one of my sister's or brothers in Christ I will also have to ask for forgiveness not happening
Turning the other cheek isn’t a command to not defend yourself, it’s a command not to hold grudges and seek vengeance.
Funny how now it's metaphorical 😂 the hypocrisy of religions is evident. It's a thing for fools.
That's old testament , and besides , the bibles. talking about somebody , does you wrong
You’re taking this out of content when you turn the other cheek you mean spiritually forgive
Yeah it’s a big difference between insult/assault😁
turn the other cheek means if you trying to help someone learn about the Bible and it is too much for them and they slap you, then you turn the other cheek. GOD always wants us to defend ourselves otherwise 🥰
Vengeance is what God does for us. It's worse than anything we could do in return.
I would hope i would be able to turn the other cheek... but I am human.
No, don't tell me what "Jesus really meant". I can read for myself.
Hes being dogmatic Jesus spoke in parables as well as literal it is wise to to have knowledge of which is which!
The Bible also says "an eye for an eye."
I will turn my right cheek and left him eat my left!
I think when the guy said metaphorical it went over all the Democrats heads.
Sorry, I’m a Christian but ai will not turn the other cheek. I will forgive you after I overtake you! I hope you turn the other cheek.
Jesus often taught using parables. This is an example. The fellow explaining it does a great job.
it means to turn the other she doesn't mean you give them permission to slap you just cuz you say you will turn the other two doesn't mean yeah I give you permission to slap me no that's not how it works but of course that's how Muslims going to put it
I'm sorry, My God would want me to take care of his temple. That means, if you hit his vessel, his vessel will hit back. Amen.
I'm not religious but I've adopted the code of the Shootist ( John Wayne movie) I will not be wronged or insulted and I won't be laid a hand on I don't do these things to other people and I expect the same in return, works for me
he's saying do not pay evil back with evil , that's a lesson in life I've failed many many times
all i got to say is when ur in ur death bed you will remember Jesu christ our saver 🙏
good thing he knows what GOD ment to say .....glad to know he sent us an interpreter for his almighty message
everything metaphorical to Christians 😂
i was born a sinner ill ask for forgiveness afyer i beat his ass defending myself!!God also gave us dignity if you try to take that away there is trouble then after i ask for forgiveness now what???😁
see from what I get from that passage in the Bible is that once you hit me on my left cheek for me to hit you on your right cheek which will defer back to where the Bible says an eye for an eye just something to think about
This is not true. Yeshua modeled this concept when the centurians beat Him. He could've ended their lives right there but just took the beating. They beat My Lord until He was unrecognizable and ripped chucks of flesh from His back with a cat-of-nine-tails, then nailed Him to a dead tree... and He forgave them. Come quickly, Lord Yeshua The Christ! This world is ripe for the wine press.
do not retaliate evil with evil For God our Father will take vengeance to whoever insulted or even offends you we must Indore onto the end patiently waiting for our God to come
first off I'm not going to tell you to or say it's ok by any means
We all live in some form of hypocrisy &...
it means to be humbel amd fate in god
how is that metaphorical? 😂😂😂😂😂
I thought it meant you left jab
PERIOD!! Well said
Don’t touch me !
only some 🤨
Horrible way to try and devalue Christianity. Coming from a religion that in countries stone they woman and justify it by saying they doing it for they God cause she slept with another man cause u not handling ur home
politics, sports, and religion. subjects nobody in life will ever agree on because the system has separated us for years and years, getting us used to that system and saying it's ok. so we can fight amongst ourselves while they get rich. They said ufos and aliens weren't real, and yet we forgot about all those medicated and sent to psych wards for saying they saw one and /or got abducted. They were just crazy n now its ok that the government has lied to us all those years because they showed us 3 out of 8 billion files they have. Professional lives ruined and all laughed at the "quacks" and come to find out they were smarter than all of us have ever been because guess what? Oh snap, ufos and aliens are real all of a sudden, and nobody remembers that. So why wouldn't there be a God no matter what religion it comes from, we all believe we were created by something. Whether God, or science, or nature. it is still a belief in SOMETHING bigger. A CREATOR we have yet to know
facts
I’ll turn the other, your cheek. That’s another cheek.😂
No it was about subverting injustice. Back in Jesus’ time if someone slapped you with the back of the hand you were considered beneath them, or less in the hierarchy of the world, but if they slap you with the palm of their hand, you were considered an equal. So turning the other cheek meant, when they slap you with the back of your hand, you turn your face and force them to treat you like an equal
Christ not only want you to fight the urge to retaliate but to do it with such vigor that you are willing to experience it yet again. but in my book I've only got two cheeks and whatever happens after that May God forgive me
You turn the other cheek to prepare for the next blow not to be hurt
Didn’t Muhammad marry a 9 yr old?
that guys wife is probably 10 years old at least thats what his religion says is ok. so he can take his hypocrisy talk and shove it along with his religion
It’s really sad people don’t understand who Jesus was and what he wanted. He never wanted to be idolized. He wanted people to believe and make personal connections with god. He was a normal human being with no ability or power. He was a sinner too.
Jesus doesn’t want people to idolize him like Christian’s do, he wanted people to believe and make personal connections with god, he was a normal Jewish man. Not a god. The Bible is completely modernized and untruthful, same thing with all versions of the Torah, the Quran, and every other holy book to exist with him or any prophet in them.
if u slap me, imma smack u back on ur other cheek
if your first wife is Lilith and she was cast out and is your x and you became lonely and pull a rib from your own body is this not same as your sexing your kids nasty right how is this Christian really wanna understand your logic bet yall mad when you read this because im right and you cant prove me wrong dare you to try with facts
