Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.

Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.

Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

I think a good example is the whole "turn the other cheek" thing, and "if someone sues you for your coat, give him your shirt". Because it was to do with exposing the clear injustice and being equal. Same with the "go with him two". It's less so about being a pushover, but putting yourself on equal footing and being respectful.

This video explains it better than I can:

"Conflict in Relationships Unavoidable" Jesus Offers Wisdom for Seeking Peace

Also another funny example: I was working with someone from another country who's a very new Christian and also to the English language, and they read "as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." and they thought it was to do with the political east and west, instead of how it's describing infinity via cardinal directions.
