Beit Or ~ The House Of Light

There are churches and other groups who advocate pacifism by twisting the words of what Yeshua (Jesus) meant when he spoke of “turning the other cheek”. In fact, what Yeshua was referring to was about maintaining control when confronted by your enemies- not giving up for the sake of avoiding a fight.

Turning the other cheek is neither biblical nor practical. King David never turned his cheek and he was called the “Beloved”. Shimshon (Samson) was the strongest man in all the land and he used that strength to fight, destroy, and kill while the spirit of the Lord was upon him. Avram (Abram) who was considered a friend of God went to war with enemy kings to take back Lot and his property who had been captured.
