Welcome to the Daily Blade.

The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the

Christian's armor against the forces of evil.

Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight.

Let's sharpen up.

All right, guys, we're wrapping up this week where we have been doing a

series of episodes called, yeah, that's not what that means. So I'm going to cover, I ended up

covering six this week of the most common misapplied and misunderstood scriptures in all of the

biblical canon. Yesterday, I talked about 29-11 and Romans 828,

and we dispelled with the nonsense that somehow these two scriptures

prove that our lives as Christians will always be happy and prosperous in an earthly sense.

So today we're going to crush the dreams and spirits of pacifist Christians,

and I'm like super here for it.

And it's just, I'm just pumped, okay?

And I'm pumped about that

because we're going to be looking at the words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 5, 38, and 39. And it's just

insane the number of people that just get this wrong. So let's go to the verse here. The verse is,

here we go. You have heard that it was said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I tell you, don't resist an evildoer. On the

contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. So here,

Jesus is hearkening back to a text that everyone in the crowd would have been familiar with and

knew what he was referring to when he said, eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

because they would know that that would come from Exodus 21 verse 24
