[quote:Anonymous Coward 291612:MV81MjM3OTZfODA2MDgyNV9ENkEwRkNGQg==] [quote:Anonymous Coward 359610] Anyone know the context of turning the other cheek when someone strikes you? Does the Bible teach self defense? it takes a bigger man to walk away from a fight.especially when you could call down a warrior angel to lop the fuckers head off lol What if they keep attacking you? When can a Christian defend himself esp if they know a little martial arts? [/quote] In Point, walk away from a fight if you can. Do not be the aggressor either and deliberately escalate things. However, should they attack... There is no place within the texts of the bible that states that you cannot defend yourself. However, it is important to use discretion. Do not attack first and when you retaliate, use only enough force to subjugate the attacker. Then leave it be, forgive and forget. [/quote]
