Should a Christian turn the other cheek against terrorists?


The Lord's statement to "turn the other cheek" was given to preclude personal vengeance, NOT self-defense of one's own person or family against direct attacks, violence, or murder.

>>I know that Christ, supposedly, said to turn the other cheek<<

(Jesus said...) You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," but I tell you not to resist an evil person. Whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. Mt 5.38-39

If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him -- fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him.
Lev 24.19-20

God said..) Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man. Gen 9.6

Seems pretty clear to moi.
