This episode opens our extended discussion on Jesus’ teachings on retaliation and loving our enemies. We start by examining Matthew 5:38-42, where Jesus calls us to not resist an evil person. How does this command relate to existing commands in the Old Testament? Is Jesus talking about how we respond when we or insulted, or when we are physically assaulted? Note: this episode and the ones following are an excellent example of how we can wrestle with the scriptures as a community even when we may disagree on our interpretations.
