38: Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39: 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.
40: And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41: And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42: Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Wow! The Christian right wing are not going to like this one bit! Allow people to smite thee! Give people who sue you more then they want! Loan out whatever someone asks to borrow!
Uh oh, no more death penalty ( That ye resist not evil )
Thumbs up for Welfare ( Give to him that asketh thee ) Conservative???? Seriously, what would your life be like if you lived by these illogical words. You would be a flat broke and abused. This is crazy talk!
I always thought that if christians followed the "turn the other cheek" teachings of jesus they wouldn't be so bad...but it's the hypocrisy that first draws people away from the church.
