Podcasts about turn the other cheek

An eye for an eye, turn the other cheek, do not resist the one who is evil. What do all of these phrases mean? What was the Messiah teaching us in Matthew 5:38-42, was he contradicting the Law? Imagine if what he was teaching is the exact opposite of what we have been taught he meant, something that could change your world. 

The Most Controversial Sermon Ever Preached - Week Two

Question from a reader: “Doesn't Jesus tell us to turn the other cheek? And to forgive seventy times seven times? And doesn't the love chapter in I Corinthians 13 tell us that love keeps no record of wrongs and it suffers long and it never gives up? So, doesn't the Bible basically tell us that we must take abuse in a marriage and stay under it?”If my work has been helpful to you in any way, feel free to leave a little tip:⁠https://www.venmo.com/u/Elisabeth-KleinFisherresources:∂ God Hates Divorce? blog: https://elisabethklein.com/blog/god-hates-divorce-thats-only-part-of-the-story∂ get 10% off your first month of BetterHelp online therapy:betterhelp.com/allthattosay∂ if you're not safe or if you or your children are being physically or sexually hurt, please set up a safety plan (https://www.thehotline.org/plan-for-safety/create-your-personal-safety-plan/) and contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233)∂ marriage assessment:http://bit.ly/marriage-assessment∂ Surviving in a Difficult Christian Marriage e-book: https://bit.ly/Elisabeth-Klein-books-on-Amazon∂ 3-month e-course, Better Way to Stay:https://bit.ly/better-way-to-stay-marriage-ecourse∂ if you're in a difficult marriage with biblical grounds to divorce and you're trying to decide whether to stay or go: my 5-week e-course, Decision Time (now PAY WHAT YOU CAN): https://bit.ly/decision-time-ecourse

Stefan Molyneux's lecture explores Jesus's teachings on non-retaliation, particularly "turning the other cheek," within their cultural context. He discusses the balance between forgiveness and the need for accountability, sharing personal experiences with toxic relationships. Molyneux advocates for measured responses to aggression, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and recognizing the character of others through generosity. He concludes by highlighting the relevance of these principles in modern interactions, promoting integrity and thoughtful engagement.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Over the last few weeks, Jesus has been correcting the scribes' and the pharisees' misunderstanding and misapplication of the law. In some cases, they were leading people to do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the law required! To understand this correction, then we first need to understand the original law and the ways that the scribes and the pharisees distorted it.

This teaching was recorded from the gathering of The Heights Church in Denver, CO. To learn more about The Heights Church, you can go to TheHeightsDenver.com Everyone wants to live a life that flourishes but few know the pathway into that kind of life. Most people are living in spiritual, financial, relational and emotional ruin. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a vision for how we were made to live and serves as our guide on the pathway back to flourishing. As we walk the path with Jesus this Fall, we are going to find that the way into flourishing is different than most people think. In fact, in many ways it is the exact opposite of what we are told in our cultural moment. Jonathan Pennington describes it this way, “The Sermon's answer to the human-flourishing question is that true human flourishing is only available through communion with the Father God through his revealed Son, Jesus, as we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. This flourishing is only experienced through faithful, heart-deep, whole-person discipleship, following Jesus' teachings and life, which situate the disciple into God's community or kingdom.” D.A. Carson calls the Sermon on the mount “Jesus' confrontation with the world.” Each week we will look at a broken vision of flourishing and compare it with Jesus' vision in the Sermon. We will use Jesus' mnemonic device “You have heard that it was said, but I say to you” in order to compare and contrast the world's vision of flourishing with Jesus' vision of flourishing.

The post SOM 10: Turn the Other Cheek appeared first on Vertical Life Church.

In a world of retaliation and getting even, Holy Spirit is filling us with courage to resist evil with humanizing love. Jesus invites us into a life that disrupts cycles of violent retaliation with surprising acts of nonviolent resistance that humanize both the oppressed and oppressor, making space for restored relationships.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 4th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 21:24: “…eye for eye, tooth for tooth,…” Then we go to the Gospel of Matthew 5:38-39. Jesus says: “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.”I want to tell you a story that touched me very deeply. There was a dairy farmer in the USA. He was born in 1913. His name was Demos Shakarian and he came from an Armenian background. He was the biggest dairy farmer in America in those days, and he met the Lord Jesus Christ, fell in love with Him and he thought the Lord was calling him to be an evangelist. So he bought a massive tent and started preaching but it was not his calling. So what he realised was that he was an instrument by God to set up meetings for other people to preach at. He formed the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International. It went right around the world touching businessmen. But he tells the story that he set up his tent and had a visiting evangelist - a crooked evangelist. After this man had preached the Gospel, he made the appeal for money and people came forward and they gave lots of money, and he made another altar call and he did it again.After the meeting, they went around the back of the tent and they were sorting out the finances and Demos Shakarian was going to give the evangelist a generous gift and he said, “I just need to square up all the debt and then I will give you the money that is left.” He said, “No ways! I want all of it, the whole lot!” Demos Shakarian turned the other cheek, didn't he? He gave him the bag of money and the evangelist disappeared. A few years later, Demos Shakarian was sitting in town in his pick-up and he saw a tramp walking up the road in rags. He looked at that tramp from a distance and he thought, “I recognise that face” - it was the evangelist. I want to say something to you: Don't worry if someone has short-changed you or done you down. Pray for that person, commit them to the Lord, and move on with your life. The Lord is the one who will do justice. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Christ's admonitions to turn the other cheek, love thy enemy, etc., from the Sermon on the Mount unsettle many brave Christians. We interpret these admonitions conclusively with the help of René Girard's mimetic exegesis. Take courage soldier! – Jesus does not advocate cowardice or resignation. We also reference C.S. Lewis, and discuss how "love thy enemy" links to Sun Tzu's precepts in The Art of War.

Jesus says on the sermon on the mount to turn the other cheek. Most people understand and interpret this as a posture of a doormat to be taken advantage of, but this is not what Jesus is saying! How can we stand up for ourselves when we've been wronged? How can we seek justice in our world without taking justice into our own hands? Join Ryan Proctor, Gaby Proctor and Myron Jellison in the Shanty Studio.

In this episode, we dive into Cornell Lewis's journey as a community activist in Hartford, Connecticut. Lewis has most recently begun conducting armed patrols in Hartford as a response to the city's rising crime. He shares his struggles with mainstream Democratic reactions and the challenge of advocating for gun ownership for self-defense among skeptics. Lewis champions self-defense in protests, and highlights instances where it has been crucial, especially for women. He critiques the idealization of peaceful protests, calling for a more assertive resistance against injustice and stressing the need for solidarity across communities to achieve social justice. It was an honor to have Cornell on the show and we're sure you're going to enjoy this one.Check out this episode's sponsor, The Reload and use code "ABW2A" for 25% off a membership!If you like the show and want to support us, head to our Patreon to do so where you'll have access to exclusive merch and content!

We are in the midst of a study of the Sermon on the Mount. Let's join Pastor Lloyd  for the second half of his study entitled, “Turn the Other Cheek”. Our scripture reference is Matthew five, verses thirty eight through forty two.

On today's Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley shares one of the most radical things Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount - “ turn the other cheek”. There is a lot of confusion about this radical teaching, so Lloyd will set the record straight today about what Jesus meant with this directive.

Sermon on the Mount E15 – In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus offers wisdom from the Torah about retaliation, justice, and nonviolent resistance to injustice. He references a series of laws in Exodus 21, Leviticus 24, and Deuteronomy 19, all of which contain the familiar language of “eye for eye, tooth for tooth.” Jesus reveals the surprising wisdom within these laws, using real-life scenarios that would have been familiar to oppressed Israelites living under Roman occupation: turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and going the extra mile. In this episode, Jon, Tim, and Michelle discuss how these actions can open up our imaginations for boldly standing against injustice in creative, nonviolent ways.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Cultural Background of “Eye for Eye” (00:00-20:45)Chapter 2: The Meaning of “Do Not Resist” (20:45-28:13)Chapter 3: Turn the Other Cheek (28:13-39:20)Chapter 4: Give Up Your Coat (39:20-45:30)Chapter 5: Go the Extra Mile (45:30-01:01:00)Referenced ResourcesThe Gospel of Matthew: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary by Craig S.

Part 2 of 4 in our 2023 Advent Series. David Dark introduces a new way of thinking about non-violent resistance, which he dubs "Robot Soft Exorcism," whereby, in an appeal to our common humanity, we call each other out of the potentially violent power structures and systems we all (knowingly or unknowingly) inhabit. Show NotesHelp the Yale Center for Faith & Culture meet a $10,000 matching challenge for podcast production; click here to donate today.Evan Rosa & Macie Bridge introduce the episodeThomas Merton, “The Time of the End Is the Time of No Room” in Raids on the Unspeakable, pages 51-52 (check it out): “Into this world, this demented inn, in which there is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ comes uninvited. But because he cannot be at home in it, because he is out of place in it, and yet he must be in it, his place is with those others for whom there is no room. His place is with those who do not belong, who are rejected by power because they are regarded as weak, those who are discredited, who are denied the status of persons, tortured, exterminated. With those for whom there is no room, Christ is present in this world. He is mysteriously present in those for whom there seems to be nothing but the world at its worst.” David Dark's Robot Soft Exorcism Twitter Thread: https://twitter.com/DavidDark/status/1012804184868048896Robot Soft ExorcismEphesians 6:12: "For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."Walter Wink's Powers seriesTurning the other cheek; demanding to be punched as an equal"Robot soft exorcism is inviting someone to be a human being rather than just being their position."Breaking it down: The Robot PartBreaking it down: The Exorcism PartThoreau: "We all crave reality."Buddhists surrendering a spirit of conflict or difference before partingKarl Barth: If you don't have any solid difference with the person with whom you exchange the peace of Christ, the peace of Christ isn't there because the peace has to overcome some kind of difference."Opinion, Posture, Position: None ever have to be confused with one's identity.Divesting ourselves of the power we carry through the worldBreaking it down: The Soft PartCivil Rights Movement is actually the Non-Violent Movement of America"One human exchange at a time."Mantra: "I wrestle not against flesh and blood."
