'No, it means to turn the other cheek, and then keep giving them cheeks to slap until you're dead. Use your last breath to tell them you forgive them.' ' Some preacher in 2025.

I've seen a lot of interpretations of what Jesus meant with "turn the other cheek" and the most convincing is that it is a challenge to someone to treat you like a peer, not a subordinate, and face you head-on versus trying to dismiss you as a know-nothing.

"Meek" is also widely misunderstood in English. It does NOT mean "weak".

"Humble" is another word we don't understand. It does NOT mean "submissive".

Modern Christians are so far removed from what is taught in scripture it's ridiculous. They're worshiping a god who never existed and who teaches outright falsehoods.
