Exodus 23:1-9" Overcome evil with good".
You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrightous witness. You shall not follow a crowd to do evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice. You shall not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute. If oyu meet your enermy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. If you see the donkey of the one who hates you, lying under it's burden, & you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him eith it. You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute. Keep yourself far from a false matter, do not kill the innocent & rightous. For i (GOD) will not justify the wicked. And you shall take no bribe, blinds the discerning & perverts the words of the rightous. Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of egypt.
I think what this passage is saying is; If we are children of God, we need to walk in God's way's, the example's he set for us in His son Jesus, we must "turn the other cheek"! By doing this we must not repay bad for bad, but return the bad for good, that way we are showing love not remorce.In the picture do you think if the lion attacked the lamb, would the lamb also attack?
I dont think so.Just like the lamb we need to shower people with love, and one day they two would like to know why we are like we are. (Like Jesus). Is'nt that a testamony in it's self for unbeliever's?
