There you go again. I mean before even addressing the point, you
mention John Knight. I think the word "Talmud" as well as a great many
of the words of the english language remind you of John Knight.

What? I've never read the Talmud as I've said several times before.
Perhaps you missed those threads but I doubt it. I think you're only
being deceptive, having intentions to slam John once again.
If you'll re-read what I wrote, you'll see that the author of that fact
sheet refers to the Torah (which I quoted from) as being the basis for
the argument.
As far as "turning the other cheek", why do you think there's a hell
prepared for the devil and his followers? You only see 2
possibilities...
1) the aggressor
and
2) the victim
... because of your liberal "victim" mentalitity. I've observed you
portraying yourself as the "victim" and me the "aggressor" on several
occaisions. Liberals do this subconsciously (I suppose) to prey on
emotions.
As a Christian, you should have some ideas about the following third
party (but you don't because you can't deny leftism).
1Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?
and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the
smallest matters?
1Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more
things that pertain to this life?

Obviously, you disagree with the Constitution, and all Americans who
have guns in order to protect themselves and their families.

Now you're flip flopping again as Mr. Knight pointed out upthread. One
the one hand, you say it's ok to believe Jesus smoked pot because the
Bible is silent on the matter, but on the other hand you infer that self
defense using "bare arms" only is valid since the Bible doesn't mention
anything about guns.
Besides that, they didn't have guns back then. But that's irrelevant to
flip-floppers.
