“When he had said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?””
John 18:22-23
“The high priest Ananias ordered his attendants to strike his mouth. Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall. Do you indeed sit in judgment upon me according to the law and yet in violation of the law order me to be struck?””
Acts 23:2-3

Verbally rebuking your attacker doesn't mean you're not turning the other cheek. Turn the other cheek means not responding in violence even when justified.

They did.
Do you have problems with figures of speech? Do you find the phrase "get off your high horse" confusing?

Not at all. In fact the commonly used meaning of turn the other cheek as a figure of speech means submit to all evil and wrongdoings and this fits well with the context of the verse which explicitly says don't resist evil and surrender your belongings to evildoers.

Given this example of Jesus himself it is clear that your reading is mistaken, verbally challenging evil acts against you does not constitute resisting evil

>Resisting evil is not resisting evil.
Brilliant.

You are arguing in bad faith. You do not resist evil by preaching the truth of God. The stones will still be thrown at you. You resist evil by trying to throw stones back.

Because it's a verse for faggots and Jesus isn't a faggot.

turning the other cheek, like cutting off your right hand for causing you to sin, is hyperbole for not losing face in light of verbal insults. Losing face in light of verbal assault is what sarecens do. They consider it strength, we rightly view it as betraying weakness and fragility. So defend the faith against petty verbal assault with clarity and truth.

No part of Sacred Scripture is derelict. It's abominable that you would suggest otherwise. More so that you would state such a hurrendous thing under the RC flair.

No, it means be a pussy and accept abuse. It's talking about getting hit not getting insulted.
