- -It doesn't matter in which situation "turn the other cheek" finds. However, -"turn the other cheek" would have NO application in situations where there -was no possible animosity. - -It didn't say go out and make disciples of all nations and if they don't -want to hear about, call them God haters, make fun of them, put them down, -and laugh at them with other believers. I think I'm safe in saying that.
Don't ever ever buy into their claims that they are atheists. They are militant anti-theists and there is a huge difference. Although viewing themselves as "free thinkers", they...
You are indeed correct.
It is odd how all the many verses in the New Testament concerning how Christians are to treat others, INCLUDING opponents )even bitter enemies) don't seem to be verses that need to be taken literaly by fundamentalists.
Verses like:
2 Timothy 2: 24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient, 25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him; if perhaps God may give them repentance to the knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
Colossians 3: 8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
Colossians 4: 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed to the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you areason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

James 3:5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. 7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly contagion. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God. 10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. -- Russ T. Nale
