Meh, it is hard for the beginning, but eventually it gets easier. You have to be careful though in real life, cuz if you become passive people will just step over you, cuz there is a difference between revenge and defense. Main thing is if someone hits you, immobilize them, don't hit them. I mean, turning the other cheek is all good when your community didn't fight often, but now with knives and ish like that, it isn't reasonable. Read The Bible and make your own values, you don't have to believe everything The Bible says, you need to find what God has said in it and develop your own morals and customs.

Oh...I'm actually well versed in scripture. I'm not a new believer; I was raised in church. But, I totally agree with you when you say don't become passive. I mentioned that early in my statement about God not wanting his people to let others walk all over them. He simply wants us to react differently to everyday situations than non-believers would. I don't have fear because I know that God has my life in his hands. NO man can harm me unless God himself authorized it. And, if He did, it's for a reason. My faith is strong. There's no turning back for me because I've lived and done all the carnal things you can do. There's NEVER any true fulfillment in that. ONly God can fill the void in your heart, not drugs or sex or food.

Anyway, I appreciate what you're saying because it's true. My "marquee" scriptures that I read often are Mark 10:27, Romans 12:19, and Proverbs 3:5-6.
