"Even the Devil can quote Scripture" but he often just makes it up....

It does not follow that one should "turn the other cheek", as neither Christ nor even any of His Deciples did so. The origins of the claim that one should merely "turn the other cheek" to any manner of offenses are disputed, however it has Historically been believed that it was actually just a case were a direct translation was not possible, someone had a "good intention" yet made a horrible mistake ( in fact, one of the old sayings about The Road To Hell is that "The Road To Hell is paved with Good Intentions"; the others being about Sorrow and Gold) or that it was due to a Cultural Factor that those of the time would have known not to take literally; meaning that it was about restraint and piety - not about allowing others to abuse you in any way! Also, He said that We are not to allow for any Blasphemies! Now, consider that versus what you've been "taught" - which is the Truth and which is but a means of Control?! "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) Prove me wrong about this; I dare you! Good luck...
