Ah the old "..."Turn the other cheek"? Ah the old "Jesus taught us to be punchbags" fallacy.<br /><br />In previous verses, he (Jesus) was discussing the law with other Jews. One bright spark chimed up with "What about an eye for an eye?". <br /><br />Now as Jesus wasn't a straight talking Yorkshireman and spoke in a somewhat cryptic way compared to modern day English standards, when asked what he'd do if someone was to strike his cheek, he said "Why, offer him the other".<br /><br />Now in Jewish tradition, striking someone round the face was an act, much like in the days of chivalry, if someone caused you offence, you'd slap them round the face with your gauntlet demanding satisfaction with "Pistols at dawn on the village green" etc.<br /><br />The lesson Jesus was trying to get across is don't be so quick to take offence, it could be just a misunderstanding and just to make sure offer him your other cheek.<br /><br />If the offended person slaps you again, it's fairly clear it's not a misunderstanding and you can then fall back on the old "Eye for an eye" routine and proceed to boot their balls up to the roof of their mouth with a clear conscience.Budvarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411709142357622721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-57821793262442194632011-11-17T11:05:05.646+00:002011-11-17T11:05:05.646+00:00You can get the Bible in Cornish now.
