  • Mark Christian on Matthew 5:40 - 12 years ago
    I am in court to defend my right to my home from vindictive ex-wife, who has already taken too much from me. What do I do? I read the Bible for advice/comfort/wisdom/answers... and I'm told to give up my house. If we take Matt. 5:40 literally it is saying be naked if someone sues you for your clothes, do not fight back. I am not wise enough to see the logic in this. I am by nature a fighter in life, because life itself is a struggle. Why should we allow evil people/acts to walk all over us. Do we let the bully walk all over a defenseless child? We can all be defenseless in this world. I'm up against a vindictive ex-wife who has an equally vindictive lawyer. It is Matt 5:40 I shall lean to, but I am unsure and unconvinced.
