Description: Q: What does it mean to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39)? A: Jesus' complete statement is "If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." Of course, any striking is a painful blow, but the striking in this case is meant as a gross insult (cf. 2 Corinthians 11:20). If a right-handed person strikes someone's right cheek, presumably it is a slap by the back of the hand. A fist striking you would be on the left cheek. So this teaching by Jesus is not about self-defense, but about an attack on your dignity. |

One of the simplest and yet one of the hardest things to do, I am learning that, especially here, lol But God continues to work, all things for His glory, right? We have a bigger hope to look forward to. God Bless, have a great night! __________________________________________________ | |
| compton3c ::: Favorites 2007-04-25 13:19:07 I like how you expounded on that at the end of the video, yet it looks like you were having too much fun attacking yourself. :-) 3c __________________________________________________ | |

| Godusesamac ::: Favorites 2007-04-25 22:34:38 Good advice, challenging to follow but a very good video. Thanks. We all need to continue to reinforce the word to each other. __________________________________________________ | |
| christoferL ::: Favorites 2007-04-26 00:02:10 While I disagree with you here based on the strength of the lives of Jesus and the Apostles - where they didn't strike back when struck (except when Peter cut the ear of that man - which Jesus rebuked him over, healing the injured man) - I don't think self defense is a Jesus teaching - I also think what you've drawn from the verse is vital and true - great video bro - GBU and HJD __________________________________________________ | |

| Dink250Racer ::: Favorites 2007-04-26 22:16:24 Turning the other cheek is an insult. It is saying - I am better than you. You make fun of non religious people. So you have struck first. What does your bible teach you about this, Geerup. Why did you take the videos down about Darwin says? __________________________________________________ | |

| Bonigee ::: Favorites 2007-04-27 04:02:53 It does not mean one is better but it means everything to Jesus about taking the offenses rather than give them. The bible teaches rules of conduct. & GEERUP'S satire did NOT offend, call names or use foul language. It actually helped Christians & atheists to laugh together and lighten up. It was refreshing after seeing disgusting Blasphemy videos against Christ daily for 3 months by people who follow NO rules of conduct at all. __________________________________________________ | |
| DieselBodine ::: Favorites 2007-04-27 09:20:54 Please, GEERUP, don't use the facial-slap demonstration too much... you may inflict injury to your cerebrum! 5/5 and 8-) __________________________________________________ | |
