Turning the other cheek

I think the statment has a meaning that even though anyone hurt you you should forgive him and dont have to react, The person will eventully understand that what he is doing is wrong. Now the real situation if some one hits me on my second cheek i will give the other cheek again. because i have done this and at the end i won the battle. So its easy to win. enjoy :)

Actually the Hebrew meaning of this, is not to turn the other cheek so they can hit that one, but to not go over board in your response..Back then they over did punishment to the offender and what Jesus was saying is take your time and response appropriately..

Force should always be met with force. Now, I'm talking almost immediate response, not years after the fact or something historical. I'm really tired of groups of all kinds saying such and such violence is justified because of something that happened over 100 years ago. So, I agree with your friend. If they hit the other check too, teach them a lesson, if did not do so earlier.

Jesus' gospel was one of love and non-violence. It is a very difficult message to follow. The answer is never to fight violence with violence. What I would do, however, is a different story. I don't know if I have enough of God's love in me to allow someone to keep hitting me. Jesus was able to allow himself to be crucified. Mahathma Gandhi and Martin Luther King did a good job of following the non-violent life through to the end and their lives changed a lot of others' lives and attitudes.

This is my understanding. If someone hits you one the right cheek...they have most likely backhanded you. This is how someone would strike a subordinate- a slave or a woman. (No offense meant...I am actually a woman, it is simply a fact of those times). So, to turn the other cheek is to calmly but assertively stand up against their attack and force them to A) attack again but on equal ground and as an equal not a dominant or B) to back off.

HahaThis one is easy. If someone hits me on the right cheek especially using this verse as a license to do so. Sorry I ain't no religious nut - I'll hit him back most definitely & tell him that the bible also says that whatsoever a man sows, he will reap, hahahaThere's this 2 verses that explains this in Proverbs 26:4-5 (NASB): Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will also be like him; Answer a fool as his folly deserves, that he not be wise in his own eyes.

You're taking it too literally. The idea is that when someone hurts you to "turn the other cheek", so if someone hit the other cheek, you're being told that your response should still be the same.
