Jesus says to turn the other cheek and I sense it is being forgotten. Do we follow the laws of man or God?
Getting slapped in the face usually doesn't prove to be fatal. There is a difference between how to respond to insults/attempts to humiliate and acts of grievous violence.
There is a lot to say about the matter, and I would suggest doing some reading on the topic. One place to start is with this link someone posted recently: https://www.christianpost.com/news/do-you-have-a-god-given-right-to-defend-yourself.html
Those that try to save their lives will lose them, but those that lose their lives for me shall gain eternal life. ~ Christ
I fully grasp the human aspect of this, that isn't how we ought to act though, as it is written.
