It's the "turn the other cheek" thing, and forgiveness, that the rest of the world has used to manipulate and take advantage of Christians. I must admit that, even within Christian churches, the ambiguity is confusing.
Onward Christian soldiers...
...Marching as to war. With the Cross of Jesus going on before.
Turn the other cheeks refers to insults. In the middle east during the times of the bible it was an insult to touch a man's cheek in certain circumstances. From the book customs in the lands and times of the bible by bishop K.C. pillai
The biblical right to self defense is clear in God's Word. We just don't war over insults.
If the crusades hadn't happend a hoard of asiatics and arabs would of swept into europe. Imagine a mongrel hoard from ireland to persia
Add in that most think the crusades were offensive…while in fact they were defensive.
Isn't that happening today?
Yes it is.
Yea, I wonder who could be behind all these great replacement conspiracy realities.

I could go on, but I would need to put a "not all jews" disclaimer on my post or JIDF will downvote every comment I make for the next week.
Actually the ONE behind all this is Satan.
Turning the other cheek was not necessarily an act of submission. Instead it may have been understood at the time to be an act of defiance against tyrrany, by standing up to it and facing it down:
"At the time of Jesus, says 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."
On the other comment I was actually just positing something to which I do not have an answer.
This one is much more solid.
