Today there are many disobedient Christians who disagree with the the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and to turn the other cheek. The writers of the NT also taught what Jesus taught and also told us. Not to resist an evil man and the vengeance is the Lords. But many Christians want to act like the Nation of Israel and fight, go to war and take vengeance into their own hands. Now let me ask you. Is it possible to love your enemy and kill him at the same time? Of course the answer is a clear no. But you know Christians today would rather serve Satan than God.
Do I have biblical backing for stating this? Yes. Indeed I do!
Resist not evil [an evil person]: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also (Mt. 5:39).
If any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also (Mt. 5:40).
Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain (Mt. 5:41).
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away (Mt. 5:42).
Him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also (Lk. 6:29b).
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again (Lk. 6:30).
Recompense to no man evil for evil (Rm. 12:17a).
Avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (Rm. 12:19).
The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves (2 Tim. 2:24a).
Servants [doulos, slaves], be subject to your masters [slave owners] with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward [perverse]. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully (1 Pet. 2:18-19).
As Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind (1 Pet. 4:1a).
Let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator (1 Pet. 4:19).
