That was my point in this. I found it illogical and I know of the painting showing Jesus being attacked. I know of the story and I know of the teaching. I never understood this teaching of "Turning the other cheek". I thought he should of at least walked away. I have had things happen in the past and have been told "Do not sit and take it" a person who takes this literally would say that we should take abuse. I find that a idiotic teaching but I do believe choosing your battles is always wise and never hit someone unless hit first.
What does the teaching "Turn the other cheek" really mean?
