Must Christians Always Turn the Other Cheek?

<p>Episode 556 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.</p> <p><a href= "https://corechristianity.com/resource-library/episodes/must-christians-always-turn-the-other-cheek/"> Show Notes</a></p> <p><a href= "../../../content/CoreChristianity.com">CoreChristianity.com</a></p> <p>1. How do I answer objections against the supposed violence in the Old Testament?</p> <p>2. Do bishops and elders have to be married people, or can you be single and still be an elder or deacon in a church?</p> <p>3. What would you say to a Christian who has been waiting years for an answer to a specific prayer about pain and suffering? I know about verses like <a class="rtBibleRef" href= "https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rom%2012.12" data-reference= "Rom 12.12" data-version="esv" data-purpose= "bible-reference">Romans 12:12</a>, <a class="rtBibleRef" href="https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ps%2027.14" data-reference= "Ps 27.14" data-version="esv" data-purpose="bible-reference">Psalm 27:14</a>, <a class="rtBibleRef" href= "https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Isa%2040.31" data-reference= "Isa 40.31" data-version="esv" data-purpose= "bible-reference">Isaiah 40:31</a>, etc. I know Job probably suffered for years before his trials came to an end, but personally, it’s been 5 years and I am still waiting.</p> <p>4. I ran across this question the other day: Are Christians always meant to be pacifists? Do we have the ability to defend ourselves from physical violence, or must we always turn the other cheek?</p> <p> </p> <h4><strong>Resources</strong></h4> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143108581/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0143108581&linkCode=as2&tag=whihorinn08-20&linkId=e63c38a9b544425d78688b23d0dfa73d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God</em></a><em> </em>by Timothy Keller</p> <h4>Offers</h4> <p>Request our latest special offers <a href= "http://corechristianity.com/resource-library/special-offers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he
