Re: The Eye of the Storm-Why we dont fight back

We dont fight back because we are programmed not to defend ourselves...

Christ has returned, but you ignored Him, but soon we will be shown what happens when people turn their back on God. Christ said keep watch, do not let Him catch you sleeping. He said He will return like a thief in the night. Well, you guys are sleeping, and He has come and gone.

It appears to me that this is a Christian teaching... a programming of Christianity to "turn the other cheek".

Luke 6:29 -

²⁹If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.

You are correct that we are programmed... But that teaching begins even before one enters the educational system. Sure the schools play a large part in that programming but it begins with the parents. And the parents are programmed to program the child...

The problem is not that people have turned their backs on Christ... people have turned their backs on themselves, they are not being true to themselves. They have been taught not to totally accept themselves for who they are.  Instead, they are programmed to follow some ideal, to follow someone else... to become someone other than who they are. To try to behave like Buddha, or like Jesus... Mohammed, and not to be themselves. On the contrary, they are taught to condemn themselves from the get go, even before they have entered the classroom.
