Q - In our pursuit of sense of self worth, that is spending time with people who value/love us and ignoring / avoiding the ones who continually hurt or devalue us, do we contradict the teaching of Jesus in Mat 5:39" Do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other also. ".
Which one to choose, the Natural Law or God's Law?
A-
Not all the verses share the same context with all other verses and therefore they will differ in application.
Kasi situational ang “truth”.
Like “there is a time to kill, for war, etc!"
Hindi naman laging time for love, for peace!
So pag may parang contradicting thoughts, or verses,
how do you find and apply Jesusness? Hanapin mo kung alin ang mas effectively loving and kind — to all concerned, even/ especially to you! Kasi “love others as you love yourself!”
If you wont avoid people who hurt you, loving pa ba yun to yourself!
Loving pa ba yun of justice if you would allow yourself to be wronged repeatedly?
All verses have their own unique context. They are not to be automatically “true” and applicable in all situations!
Choose the kindest contextual application.
