Bouncey1 is funny! Here's my take--maybe they kept turning the same cheek & got slapped around so much they hadn't any cheek on that side of their face. So, perhaps they should turn the remaining cheek so their face is balanced. I REFUSE to get serious on here anymore!!!

Yes, because in order to be a good Christian, you must be willing to suffer before defending yourself from the onslaught of an opponent. Thus, if you have only half a face, you must turn the missing half towards your enemy if he smites you, even if your cheek is missing. If this causes you worse pain than the original slap, then it is your lot in life as a Christian. If you object to this, I suggest finding another religion.

No, Jesus did not mean literal face at all. A slap is not like a hit with the fist. It is more like a push or a shove. A person may slap us to pick a fight. He wants us to get angry. And if we get angry and we push or shove back, what happens?— We will probably get into a fight.
But Jesus did not want his followers to get into fights. So he said that if someone slaps us, we should not slap him back. We should not become angry and get into a fight. If we do, we show that we are no better than the one who started the fight.
If trouble starts, what do you think is the best thing to do?— It is to walk away. The other person may push or shove you a few more times. But that will probably be the end of it. When you walk away, it does not mean that you are weak. It means that you are strong for what is right.
But what if you let yourself get into a fight and you win? What could happen then?— The one you beat up could come back with some friends. They might even hurt you with a big stick or a knife. So, can you see now why Jesus did not want us to get into fights?—

First off, how do you only have half a face??? Second of all, you'd probably be turning the other ear, or maybe the other side of your neck.

If they literally had a half of face, I would say no.

LOL...that's kinda cheesy, but funny at the same time. And I'd say no, it doesn't apply to them.
