Jesus does not command us to do evil. Matthew 5 5:38 "You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 5:39 But I tell you, don't resist an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 5:40 As for the one who wants to sue you and take away your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 5:41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 5:42 Give to the one who asks you, and don't turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. Romans 12 12:20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. Matthew 5 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you 1 Peter 2 2:21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps. 2:22 He did not commit sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth; 2:23 when reviled, He did not revile in return; when suffering, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to the One who judges justly. |
