Texas/New Mexico Stateline | "Turn the other cheek" has nothing to do with criminal activity and people being a danger to our society.
Jesus told us to turn the other cheek as a saying dealing with personal offenses. It is not telling us to be a doormat and allow a real threat to our physical well-being.
The Bible is completely clear on punishing wrongdoers and exacting justice when it comes to evil.
Even in the N. Testament the Apostle Paul wrote we are to submit to governing authorities and their punishment of criminals. (Romans 13)
I know you don't believe so it doesn't matter to you, but the mis-characterization of what Christians stand for and believe gets old.
