How Many Cheeks Do We Have to Turn!!

The title to this post was a comment that I made at a Christian site last week in rebuttal to a Christian who stated that we must turn the other cheek--
then I found Trace Adkins' song from threebeerslater..


and Trace Adkins w/ the WEST POINT Glee Club-Carolsblog

Turning the other cheek is all well and good, but didn't Joshua bring down the walls of Jericho and kill all of the inhabitants? I recall something similar to that. Also, did not Christ say that there was a time for all things as well? A time for peace and a time for war?

Funny how one's memory grows vague with the onset of age.

WS one of my favorites-Lk 19 where Christ give a direct command-
"Occupy til I come."
Gen Mac Arthur knew the correct way to occupy (he did say -"send Bibles.." but that admonishment was ignored by our leaders) --in all aspects of occupation-he knew how...
We Christian could take a lesson from that great General!

William is right, in addition, Christ said to turn the other cheek, he didn't say keep turning the other cheek.
