Bible Trivia: Judge Judy Ain't Got $#!% On Me!

In Matthew 5:40, during the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says that if "anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt" you should:

A:  forgive them

B:  counter sue

C:  give them your coat

D:  pray for god to smote them

 you want his shirt?

ANSWER:  C

 ⁴⁰ And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.

To take a look at this full verse, here is what Jesus said:

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’^{[h] 39} But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. ⁴⁰ And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. ⁴¹ If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. ⁴² Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

This may sound nice but it's very poor advice really.  It is obvious that violence begets violence, but is pacifism the way to go?

The reality is that it is unfair to judge these preachings as teaching on how to sustain civilization, since they are really just recommendations on how to act in preparation of death.

you know, to prepare for the end of days and all that jazz
