So what stopped him from expressing that plainly and simply, or was that even something he thought? what the fuck does a teaching do if it's based on Faith and not Reason and Common Sense? The thing is that there is no way to make the conclusion that turn the other cheek means to pick and chose your battles, it's simply about not resisting and letting ANYONE borrow from you. Get the fuck out of here with that "teaching", or contorted fabrication of things that never were said.
Give to them who ask of you, if they make their requests in honesty, and turn away from them who want to borrow from you in a dishonest way.
It's pronunced J-mmanuel.
