Sandy...Matt 5:39 is easy--the person accepts the back of anybody's hand (ideally), but I've been stuck for awhile on Romans 13:4--authority is given for GOVERNMENTS to strike here. I was reading the Declaration of Independence the other day, and wondered....the voices of Menno and Benjamin Rush are getting all jumbled up in my brain, I guess you could say.

And I mean jumbled. I meant Menno and Thomas Jefferson.

I'm confused. How are these two things all that different? Both talk about accepting a strike in a way, do they not?

I notice fairly some solutions repeating the comparable theory "those issues have been going on via fact the start of time" etc. those issues have not been going on all on the comparable time the way they do now. There additionally are a lot of alternative prophesies that have been fulfilled weren't suggested interior the question.The technologies for the mark of the beast is accessible now. The 'motives' for the antichrists to recommend the mark are coming to bypass. there are a number of prophecies which you will possibly desire to benefit to understand why they hare in place, and why they line up. examine which you would be able to not cram into one in all those little communicate board bins.Prophecies with regard to the rebirth of the rustic of Israel, the formation of the ecu, the. push in the direction of the NWO and globalism. The Chernobyl catastrophe, WWII, and cutting-edge information memories concerning Iran may be latest in Scripture, in case you recognize what you're searching for for. people who don't have a easy expertise of Scripture, faith in God, and are not staring at, there may be no reason to appreciate that the prophecies are being fulfilled. No, it isn't the start of the top. the start became a protracted time in the past. we are very close to the fulfillment, and His return is eminent.

Matthew 5:39:
39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
In this verse Jesus is teaching that there will be hardship in our faith but to remain strong in those times of trouble and God will bless you, do not give into acts of anger.
Romans 13:4:
4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
This verse is refering to goverenment leaders who at the time of this writing did in fact carry swords, those who were in this type of service did this to serve God and were choosen by lot to do the work that they were given, this is warning to respect them and do as they tell one to do.

Your comparing the teachings of Christ to the Letters of Paul.
And your not reading the whole paragraph.
