<P>You are asking, do I think we should allow no punishment for crimes against persons because of Jesus's preaching of turning the other cheek? I don't agree with that interpretation. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Turn the other cheek is in reference to my personal response to others that do me wrong. Requiring someone, much less a child, to forgo justice because of my personal Christian belief as a societal rule, I think would be unjust don't you?</P>

I just curious, doesn't the "turn the other cheek" part of your
faith
supersede the "eye for an eye" vengeance part?
If so, it seems to me that you should be against the death penalty in
all cases.
