"These are the soldiers going into Gaza. It feels like Yom Kippur at the front lines." What did Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus mean by the question : "And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace." [Mark 3:4} I believe that the Scribes and Pharisees remained silent.... because they knew their own history quite well...... ... Book of Machabees 1, chapter two : .... It seems to me that the general tendency to "turn the other cheek" is not meant to be a moral absolute that should include simply allowing evil people, such as the Greco - Syrian armies in the time of the Maccabees... or a Hamas or Hezbollah terrorist in 2023...... to be free to kill us and take our children to be slaves or hostages... ......... In other words.... I believe that this question by Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus hints that a true Christian could be a soldier in the I. D. F. .... or the USA army....... or a police officer... and could even kill an evil doer.... even on the Sabbath..... if they are threatening lives or damaging property........ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VMfcZxNs_wQ
