The real meaning is often buried under the pretense of some passing fad, contorted to fit the flavor-of-the-month theology or a societal fad. One, of course, that immediately jumps to mind is the favorite line from Scripture for wimps, cowards and theological lightweights: "Do not judge." >> It doesn't mean what you think it means, liberals. >> But one that has gone overlooked (but that is very much in the same vein) is the wildly misunderstood "turn the other cheek." There isn't a wimpy-Catholic, liberal or conflict-avoidance coward who doesn't have this right at the top of his list of quotes to use to virtue signal and excuse his lack of zeal in confronting evil and injustice. >> But what does it actually mean? Was the Son of God really telling His followers to just be doormats and not oppose injustice — as many like to claim — to cover their own cowardice? Far from it. In fact, recall that when Our Lord Himself was struck across the face, He didn't turn the other cheek, but actually confronted the guard who did it (at his trial before the Sanhedrin), saying, "If I speak the truth, then why do you strike Me?"
