Let us put the TRUE CHRISTIAN into proper perspective here. There are many whom think MEEK is the same as WEAK. Get the dictionary out, and see the difference.
Christ told his Disciples to "buy swords" for their traveling evangelism, as he knew there were robbers and murders in the country side. When the Sanhedrin came and arrested Christ, Peter cut one of the soldiers ears off with a sword. Don't you know, that Christ "KNEW", that Peter traveled armed? He told him to be armed.
When Christ cleaned the thieves out of the temple, he did not use Scrubbing Bubbles and a brush. He used a whip.
When He was taken before Pontius Pilot, He informed Pilot that the ONLY REASON He was there, was because He (Christ) was supposed to be, there, and for no other reason.
They killed Christ not because He was a weakling and passive. They killed Him because He proclaimed to all that the Sanhedrin was corrupt, the Sadducee's, and Pharisees were corrupt, and the Old Law of sacrifice was about to be dead. He was telling them that their days of power were about to be over.
Jesus Christ STOOD FOR WHAT WAS RIGHT, and His Disciples did also. All but John, died a violent death for not backing down on their beliefs.
Christians are supposed to be strong, and DEFEND WHAT IS RIGHT "ALWAYS", AND DEFEND THEIR FAMILIES, AND EACH OTHER.
John Chapter 15 verse 12. This is my commandment, That ye LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. Verse 13. Greater love hath no man than this, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.If another is argumentative, and insulting is one thing, but NO WHERE IN SCRIPTURE does God say to be led voluntarily to slaughter, and to not defend not only your self, but friends and family.
Folks many times unknowingly take this "turn the other cheek" to extremes it was never meant to be taken.
