    Do Not Resist Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 25, 2022
     | 2,121 views

    Many Christians believe that in Matthew 5:39 Jesus is calling us to pacifism. If that was the case, he would be negating the Old Testament! Jesus does call us to nonresistance, but in certain situations only - as his examples show. He isn't pacifist and he doesn't call us to to pacifism.
