Given that Jesus was a carpenter and could lug solid slabs of wood around (not to mention flip over tables made of multiple slabs of wood), Jesus was also sturdy and built. None of this weak hippie Jesus nonsense!
And the Lord said, if the enemy of the flocks knows the Shepard has teeth, the Shepard will never need to use them for the devil uses trickery on his followers to do his bidding. He is incapable of providing them true strength and courage. Stand against the evil of your world, even if you should stand alone. Pray to your father as I have prayed and you will have true armies at your back.
"Turn the other cheek" was a way to INSULT the one slapping you, during the times in the Roman Empire when Christians were persecuted. Because to show your assailant the "other cheek" was to force them to use their dominant hand. You would force them to acknowledge you as an equal, because the dominant hand was what you used on other men, back in those days.
Jesus would say "Get yourself a whip and turn over some tables."
Stop being so flippin' nice
Jesus wasn’t nice
My husband says the same thing. He thinks Jesus was “salty”!

Jesus rocked the boat. The Establishment of the day didn't like him very much.
Everyone was hard AF back then. Being "nice" was suspicious.
I heard he was
He was loving, not "nice".
sorry

MAGA 3:16
This sounds exactly like Antifa. As soon as some shepards show up that don't take their shit, they run.
Easy. We're not Jesus.
Turn the other cheek.

Exactly!
It just annoys me how a lot of Christians use that phrase as an excuse to be doormats for their assailants.
