I spent years going to Sunday school and hated it so I barely remember, but I seem to recall multiple stories in the Bible explaining how to make that shit work. You have read the Bible, right? If not, get to it, it's your book with all your answers

what is going on with this board

>>34294437
Bro Jesus himself said that the people who need his message the most are the powerful assholes
If you get physically and financially hurt that's a (You) problem, you have to learn to defend your own interests first

>>34294437
Christians can make up whatever excuses they want to defend themselves;there are like hundreds of different scriptures you can pull from.
>The other cheek stuff
You can get around that easily using the OT.

>>34295807
Old Testament doesn't apply to Christians.

Exactly what >>34294457 said. The book was made to give you answers to your questions. Unfortunately I haven't read much of the new testament so I can't point you to any exclusively "Christian" passages, but the book of proverbs might be of interest to you.

>>34294437
Just have faith. Jeez. Don't explain yourself.

>you have to learn to defend your own interests first
Just like how Jesus defended himself fro-
Oh that's right, you're a fucking retard who didn't finish reading that story, let alone the OP.
Crucify yourself.

>>34296504
Fuck you dude. Jesus is meant as a complement to common sense, not a replacement for it. Like the other guy mentioned the OT. Jesus taught within a time when "an eye for an eye" was applied 100% of the time when it should only be applied 90% of the time

>>34297967
Oh, what's what? STILL no concrete answer to the OP aside from >"Just read the entire fucking bible and just 'interpret" it for yourself, it's easy and worked on my salvation!"
Faggots like you are why Islam is such a "peaceful" religion, because that's exactly what happens when absolute retards like you run around telling people to just read their books and apply "90% common sense" to it.

Go back to sucking the priest's cock, you haven't even learned how to be a proper choirboy-toy, let alone a wannabe preacher.

You are not a Christian; The only Christian died on the cross.

>>34294437
As a Christian you've a right to defend yourself and you've also a right to retaliate. The only thing that's asked of you is that when you enact justice, make sure it is justice and not vengeance. The difference between justice and vengeance is justice is filled with righteousness, vengeance is a spirit of hatred.

In other words, you can fight back but do it without feeling hate. You can punch your aggressor in the face, or even execute the local rapist with a blade, but it has to be done mercifully in spirit.

You are a Christian and that means you are called to forgive your trespasser at all times. But forgiveness ≠ letting go of justice. I have no idea why most modern Christians forget this but it's the truth. Forgiveness has to do with letting go of the feelings of hatred or contempt towards a person. It is not about letting go of pursuing justice. You can forgive someone and still kill them if the situation calls for it, such as in times of war, self defense, or putting an unrelenting criminal to death.

>>34295807
>The other cheek stuff
A common verse that's surprisingly misinterpreted more by modern Christians (usually Protestants, American Christians) than atheists. Though atheist love using this wrong too.

Christ spoke in parable. When He says to "Turn the other cheek" he references cultural practice of the time. In the parable he used the relationship of the slave & his master. In those days, masters could strike their slaves, but only with an open hand, typically their right hand.

Christ tells you to turn the other cheek if you are hit. So if your left cheek is struck by a right hand, turn your cheek. This means the master can no longer hit you, if he should try, he'd have to use his back hand. Which is not permitted in this moral example.

The moral of the parable isn't "let them hit you again, be submissive."

The moral is "Turn your enemies own corruption against them."

>>34294489
Somehow, for some reason, the past few years had made everyone more retarded on average

>>34294437
why are you asking here, and not going to your local priest?

>>34299699
This is bullshit, you're just either gloating about your righteousness in killing them or pulling mental gymnastics to do so, same as Islam.
>Good luck getting away with defending yourself using the bible you swear on in court because you "didn't hate the nigger who mugged you" when every ghetto on the planet is calling for your blood and how he "dindu nuffin..." etc. etc. etc.

>Well I guess I'll just go vigilante mode and do what Jesus was too much of a pussy to do himself, as long as I don't hate them (or only hate the sin, not the sinner!) then killing them is actually helping them!
t. Retarded religious zealots like you

>>34299711
>Christ spoke in parable.
So instead of answers or guidance he gave us a fucking storybook and said

>So if your left cheek is struck by a right hand, turn your cheek. This means the master can no longer hit you, if he should try, he'd have to use his back hand. Which is not permitted in this moral example.
So... When you're getting mugged.....? What then when anything is permitted in this street example?
>The moral is "Turn your enemies own corruption against them."
That's fucking rich considering what's happened with "The List" where only like 2 fucking people got jailtime so far over a literal goddamn global conspiracy. Can't get much more corrupt than that, so how do we use that against them?
Oh that's right, your faggot god is the only one who CAN actually do anything, refuses to because "it's not time yet", and blames or blockades anyone else for daring to try to solve the problem "good intentions" and whatnot.

After that shit came to light and nothing happened, "He" has no right to bitch about anything I do when "HE" is the one directly or indirectly (as he's holding Satan's leash) blocking me from even improving myself, but actively letting shit like this happen.... Just so he can let the final boss "cook" a little longer before he stomps out all the evil with less effort than it takes to press X to win...

>>34299761
You type like a teenager with learning deficiencies. Try responding to what I have said directly and not what you think I am saying in your own head. (Notice how you green text things I never said.)

You contradicted your own sentiments so many times in your post I don't know where to begin. You type like an emotional schizo.

>Jesus was too pussy to do vigilantism himself
>Sarcastically criticizes the idea of helping them by killing them.

So you dislike Jesus for not doing it, yet are against vigilantism anyway. So nothing would appease you, okay.

As for your mugging example, Christ has a parable for that too. Give him your cloak, etc. it means don't die over trivial materials, give over your objects and live another day. Fighting and dying for your wallet is absurd. If the mugger continues to assail you even after you give over your possessions, kill him swiftly.

>blocking me from even improving myself
You block yourself from that. And the longer you fail to admit that the longer you will remain stuck.

christians and persecution complexes, nary a more iconic duo

>>34299799
On the contrary, irreligious people are more likely to carry persecution complexes. Check the atheist here: >>34299761
Spent an essay detailing how he's a victim and it's God's fault that he can't improve himself.

Not all greentexts are quotes, let alone verbatim ones you retarded newfag

>Try responding to what I have said directly
Try responding to the actual fucking question in the OP, which you still haven't done (big whoop, you gave the shit cloak example and I have to preemptively mention it because you're so petty, you'd no doubt bring it up if I didn't)

>Semantics, strawmen, and goalpost moving, oh my!
Oh boy here we fucking go. (Not to mention how badly you misinterpreted my vigilante/Jesus comments is legitimately worrying, as your ilk has no qualms murdering their own children on schizophrenia's command, because of your fantasy story where it was replaced by a fucking sheep at the last possible instant.)

Yet you still can't see the issue of

>Figure it out yourself
ISLAM "FIGURED IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES" and you still haven't addressed that fucking point.


>Roll over
>THEN fight
Okay...
>THEN FIGHT THE CORRUPT LEGAL SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS LITERAL CRIMINALS OVER INNOCENT PEOPLE ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
You're just trading street bullies for courtroom ones if you're FORCED into escalating.

>"Uhhhhh it's actually YOUR fault"
Spoken like a pompous religious zealot if they could only ever say a single phrase. (Which they do as this is the basis of their guilt trip / humiliation M.O.)

>>34299823
>Atheist
>One point as a footnote being an "essay"
You're retarded, I believe god exists, but I don't believe any of his bullshit lies about how everything is everyone else's fault but his and blahblahblah worship worship worship.

He doesn't deserve a "thank you", let alone worship.

It was God who hardened the pharaoh's heart (Insert your mental gymnastics about how this totally didn't matter though)

If Jesus wanted to pay for everyone's sins single-handedly, then he should go back to hell where he belongs. 3 fucking days to go pick up his buddies from the jail he set up for them isn't a fucking payment, it was a mockery.

>>34299837
No I don't expect you to buy it because I'm not selling it, its free. I am pointing to an example ITT. But if that isn't enough, you can test it out for yourself. Go to your nearest LGBTQ community and openly profess that you disagree with homosexuality or transgenderism as concepts or something. Take note of the irreligiousity, and then marvel at the persecution complexes erupting so violently that you're hounded, harassed, cancelled and in some secular hellholes arrested for hurting someone's feelings. You know for a fact that the largest demographic for persecution complexes isn't the religious. You know exactly what happens if you go outside and shout "fuck Christians" Vs "fuck trannies", you know which has the likelier chance of you being labelled and evil persecutor.

>>34299860
Not reading all that, your post is an eyesore to read. I don't mean the content, but the formatting. Anyway the long and short of it is that you are the zealot. Zealots are zealots because of fanaticism. And fanaticism is when someone harbours beliefs or perspectives so intense, they become hostile towards any single opposing point of view right off the bat.
And if you had some self awareness you'd examine your own posts as though you were an outside observer and you would come to the conclusion you read exactly like a zealot.
I am going to guess you are from a zealot upbringing or background. You're still angry at your religious family, you are in your rebellion phase, yet you haven't let go of the zealotry they instilled in you which is why your words stink of it.

Anyway you have free will, you have a choice. If you choose suffering then you suffer. It's not a mystery.

>>34299668
>no concrete answer
The op isn't concrete it's just the typical larp of I'm a pushover and blame my religion for it

You don't need to, this is Satan's world.
>What makes groups of psychos back off other than straight up offing one of their group.
Idiots only understand power, kick one of their asses and they will back off. Bullies prey on the weak.
Also something of note, when Christ says to "turn the other cheek" he doesn't mean to lay down and let yourself be abused. He means to maintain your agency as a human and not be made into someone's whim.
"Turn the other cheek" as in "make your own choice as you are your own man", same as walking the extra mile of your own volition. You are establishing your value and ability to choose. The same way he chose to travel to his own demise for humanity or how Socrates in "Crito" (Written account by Plato) chose to not flee and instead face his own execution.
So in this case, you should focus on improving yourself. Work out, eat more protein, get adequate sleep, take sparring lessons, whatever gives you agency to defend yourself from those who would harm you.

>>34294437
Turn the other cheek you little bitch
Dont you follow your own religion?
