the idea of "turning the other cheek", as well as doing good to your enemies can be taken to this perverted point as well. I think Jesus meant for us to be strong enough to keep our principles even when under provocation of any kind, not to just be so accepting of others we cannot deal with real problems on a reasoned or principled basis. He would when appropriate use his kind of "anger" to refute the teachings of others, drive merchants from the temple grounds, etc etc etc.
I want my religion to be competent to address real problems any day. . . . .
Babe, a couple of posts ago you again spoke of real life problems/issues. Is there any specific problem you'd like to bring up? I think the acceptance of God's love and repentance are the tools in the chest to get through any of them.
