  2. Q3. Examples, Case Law, Hyperbole?

    in 6. The Spirit of Truthfulness and Love (5:33-48)

    Posted

    :angry:

    Q3. (Matthew 5:39-42) What do Jesus' examples or tiny cameos in verses 39-42 have in common? Someone has said that if we were to carry out verses 39-42 literally, we would aid and abet evil. Do you agree? How should we take these examples: As case law? As hyperbole? As a series of aphorisms or adages? In another way?
    So how are we to apply the laws governed by the land ??? Does this mean we are to let our enemies run all over us ???? How do you walk in love to those who have offended you ? Some offenses are more easily resolved than others. I can forgive a person who takes the life of a loved one but that does not mean I will not expose the offender to the proper authorities . I guess this question is very conflicting with the human soul. I face a situation in which someone forged the deeds to my parents home, took out a mortgage and now the house is jeopardy of foreclosure. Although I forgave the offender and tried to work something out to prevent this from happening , they continued to lie and manipulate the situation until I was forced to report their actions. This was a sibling. Am I to just let my parents home they worked so hard to pay off go to auction ?

    :):wub: Hello Everyone! Sorry I'm a little behind with the introduction. I am Lawsy40. I'm a couple days behind with the study and hope to catch up. I am enrolled in a couple of other studies as well and am enjoying them ! Somehow I missed the Introduction e-mail when it arrived in the inbox. Anyway, although I have a very busy schedule I am looking forward to participating in the forums on the studies with everyone.
