CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I will just say that whatever your reasons for being on a Christian forum, you are welcome and have a right to be here.

Little old ladies have been arrested for far less. Like praying in front of an abortion clinic. So, if we want to talk about inconsistencies, why not start with that?

I remember police interrupting many church services during Covid. Liberals did not seem to complain about that.

Respectfully, your scripture references are taken out of context and are not applicable to the situation. Nor did it answer the poster's question.

I think as well that the biblical context didn't involve breaking the law, and even that some people could be sometimes enjoying a lawful privilege to do something detrimental to you, such as taking some of your goods.

Her first quote was not about breaking any law but, going beyond the law.
Her second quote was about rebuke, if a righteous strikes (rebukes) you on the cheek, then turn the other to recieve more.
Worrying about the law leads to legalism, how far can I go and still be within the law.

Having someone rebuke you can feel lik a slap in the face, but it should not be done to embarrass, but more an attempt to
prevent him from sinning.

The first passage does not give license to harbor criminals. That is a crime. The second is about religious persecution. Not being a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse].

It is in present tense, what one has done before is done but the whole idea is that we reform ourselves.
Take your time, read and recite out loud.

"Where does jesus tell us to allow people to break the law and steal from us?"
Jesus is usually capitalized. My understanding is that stealing is breaking the law. I gave the passages where Jesus said to not only allow the cloak thief to steal but throw in a shirt to boot. Imo, the given passages answer that question directly, plain reading.

Yes most probably, but but consider something from Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.
"Do good without reason, then there are no traps. you don`t need your ego`s approval to do something good."
