father said during the vietnamese communist revolution he unthinkingly unintentionally “lied” blurted out to a french interrogator about someone being his “cousin” (“mất cha còn chú mất mẹ bú vú dì”: it’s not too far from the truth judging from the cadao popular saying from a country –a small village of such a country–so homogenized and close-knitted that everyone might very well be everyone’s cousins …: anyway, “you believe what you want to believe,” said tom petty and the heartbreakers) and receiced a smack in the face from the french guy …

Teaching about Divorce

(Matthew 19.9; Mark 10.11,12; Luke 16.18)

31 “It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’ 32 But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also.

Teaching about Vows

33 “You have also heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not break your promise, but do what you have vowed to the Lord to do.’ 34 But now I tell you: do not use any vow when you make a promise. Do not swear by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by earth, for it is the resting place for his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36Do not even swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37Just say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’—anything else you say comes from the Evil One.

Teaching about Revenge

(Luke 6.29,30)

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. 40And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41And if one of the occupation troops forces you to carry his pack one mile, carry it two miles. 42When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him.

Love for Enemies

(Luke 6.27,28,32-36)

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ 44But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil. 46Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! 47And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! 48 You must be perfect—just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
