Jesus didn't give a shit about petty domestic enemies, he cared about people who made themselves his moral opposition(like the jews in the temple) and delt with them as such

I’d say “disciplined” and “humble” apply better

This along with give Ceaser what is Ceaser's is imo meant to put things into perspective. Petty problems aren't worth your soul. Put up a fight when it concerns your soul and those of others, but not for petty shit like money or status.

Don't get violent with someone unless your life or the life of someone else is in danger. (see selling your cloak to buy a sword)

>>15165194
If you are unjustly punished for something do not be quick to anger because there is always something you've done that deserves punishment. Essentially, sit down, be humble.

At the time of Jesus, says Walter Wink, striking backhand a person deemed to be of lower socioeconomic class was a means of asserting authority and dominance. If the persecuted person "turned the other cheek," the discipliner was faced with a dilemma: The left hand was used for unclean purposes, so a back-hand strike on the opposite cheek would not be performed. An alternative would be a slap with the open hand as a challenge or to punch the person, but this was seen as a statement of equality. Thus, by turning the other cheek, the persecuted was demanding equality.

The love thy enemy verse is a rather famous mistranslation. The greeks have a word for private enemy(as in your bitchy neighbor) and public enemy (as in that bandit who wants to kill you). Jesus said love thy private enemy, it should be noted that jesus acted violently several times against public enemies(like when he fucked up those jews)

Matthew Henry’s comment on this verse is helpful: “Suffer any injury that can be borne, for the sake of peace, committing your concerns to the Lord’s keeping. And the sum of all is, that Christians must avoid disputing and striving. If any say, Flesh and blood cannot pass by such an affront, let them remember, that flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God; and those who act upon right principles will have most peace and comfort”

Turning the other cheek does not imply pacifism, nor does it mean we place ourselves or others in danger. Jesus’ command to turn the other cheek is simply a command to forgo retaliation for personal offenses. He was not setting government foreign policy, and He was not throwing out the judicial system. Crimes can still be prosecuted, and wars can still be waged, but the follower of Christ need not defend his personal “rights” or avenge his honor.

There was a time in history when a man would feel compelled to protect his honor against one who slandered him or otherwise besmirched his character. The offended party would challenge the offender to a duel. Swords, firearms, or other weapons were chosen, and the two enemies would face off. In most cases, senseless bloodshed ensued. Samuel Johnson wrote in favor of the practice of dueling: “A man may shoot the man who invades his character, as he may shoot him who attempts to break into his house.” The problem is that “invasions of character” are exactly what Jesus told us to tolerate in Matthew 5:38. Turning the other cheek would have been a better option than dueling, and it would have saved lives.

You don't understand ancient mediterranean culture

>>15166998
Neither do you.

>>15166531
In what culture? The Romans? The Jews? Ive never heard of Jews having this autistic system where punching someone means they're your equal.

>>15165194
one of the most effective world domination tactics tbqh

>>15165194
Be a good goy

>>15167198
Sounds like a roman thing, they're the same guys who think forcing another man to suck your cock(literally) is the manliest thing possible

>>15165194
Be a passive aggressive bitch to the Romans.

Romans had a couple social norms. One was that they were very conscious of social standing. Another was that a backhanded strike to the cheek was an insult, as it meant that the stricken wasn't considered an equal. Turning the other cheek forced the Roman striking the Judean to either throw a limp double backhanded strike or to stop striking altogether.

Oh, also remember that rich Romans wore togas, which needed one hand to be held in place correctly.

>>15167198
The Romans occupied Palestine during Jesus life.

>>15167478
>But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

So youre saying jesus wanted the other jews to bless the Romans and pray for them??

Is this what they mean when people talk about the christian slave morality?

>>15165373
This.
Is like when you tell your little niece "hit me, now hitme harder like a man." as you dont feel pain.

How do Christcucks cope with the fact that the only reason they worship a jew on a stick is because it was politically convenient for a Roman emperor 1700 years ago?

>>15168450
The roman emperor had to adopt cristianity.

>>15166639
I think this really hits the nail on the head, thanks for posting, I was having a hard time believing the ‘turn the other cheek means they have to hit you as an equal because of this strange left/right hand cultural rule’, I don’t think the authors of the New Testament would he so short-sighted.

>>15168474
Yeah, because it was convenient for him as a ploy to help centralize his rule during a time of crisis. One empire, one caesar, one God and all that.

>>15168450
>christcuck
>jew on a stick
Christ died to save you, even though he knew you would utter such vitriol.
Repent and believe in the Gospel.

>>15168222

slaves can't do anything besides coping and thinking they will get rewarded in the afterlife and that their slave masters will suffer for eternity

>>15168644
>can't do anything
