@ArthurMacwaters We are far more enslaved to the bottom 1% than the top1%.
In fact, most of your real world problems in life can be attributed to societies repercussions with dealing with the bottom 1% of society.
Almost everything good in your life has come from the top 1%
@paleochristcon Since I can’t dm you. I got to ask. Is the Papa Gut debate in your top 5 worst faith debates? Didn’t seem like he was answering anything.
If we don’t deport +30 million illegal aliens then we are giving them amnesty.
America voted for mass deportations and that also happens to be the law.
Left Wing agitators have no right to interfere and if they do they have to be arrested. If they resist then they might die.

Trying to get to 12 before year end
"Turning the other cheek" isn't about submission. It is an act of defiance.
Modern society interprets Christ's command as a call to be a doormat, to be passive, weak, and defenseless.
In 1st Century Judea, the left hand was considered unclean. You would never use it to strike someone. Therefore, to slap someone on the right cheek (as Jesus specifies), you had to use the back of your right hand.
A backhand slap was an act of insult. It was how a superior hit an inferior. It said, "You are beneath me."
By turning your head and offering the left cheek, you physically prevent them from backhanding you again. You force the aggressor to use their open palm or a fist.
Why does this matter? Because a fist is how you hit an equal.
Jesus wasn't telling his followers to cower. He was telling them to stand their ground, look their oppressor in the eye, and say without words: "I am not your slave. I am a man. If you are going to hit me, treat me like one."
It is not an act of cowardice. It is an assertion of dignity that requires terrifying courage.
