Thank you. Finally, I understand. Have been so puzzled by this my life entire.

Amazing sermon! Praise be to the Lord, our God, Jesus Christ! One verse to those who resist God and call Him names, "But who are you, O man, to answer back to God?" Rom. 9:20

Excellent sermon! Brother of mine held similar one, but he used his left hand to show that in that culture the left hand was "shameful" hand and the slap with left hand was sign of degrading someone, but in the end the message is the same.

When you take Jesus's sayings in the broader scope of things, turn the other cheek, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword, bless those who curse curse you, him not resisting arrest ect: all of that together seems to reflect a position of non violence. As for God being a hypocrite, he created the universe, he can do whatever he wants. lol

And lastly for the cloak, if you were looking at another person nude in public it was an embarrassment for you, and not them. So Christians, you really should look into the origins of verses, and when he talks about do not murder, god must be a hypocrite because he committed mass genocide on multiple occasions.
