The Old Testament, the Jewish Torah, and the Al Qur'an all teach "a
tooth for a tooth". If someone hits you in the face, kick him in his
groin. That was what God or Allah expects His followers or servants to
do when resolving physical conflicts.
And then came Jesus. He taught someting radically different. He said
if someone hits your left cheeck, let him hit your right cheek also.
If someone wants your shirt, give him your pants too. If someone wants
you to walk for him one mile, walk five miles for him. If someone
punch your tooth out, let him punch and break your other tooth also,
or something like that.
Why are Christians not doing that, following the teachings of Jesus?
Are they hypocrites?
No, they are not! If Christians follow the teachings of Jesus they
would all be wearing dentures, a costly dental procedure, and walk
naked without pants.
