Most of us have heard that Jesus said to turn the other cheek, but looking up the specific verse in Matthew, I discovered something I hadn't noticed before: " If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn your other cheek to him as well."

So, here's the thing. Most people are right-handed. But every actual translation of the Bible (as opposed to paraphrase) said," If someone slaps you on your RIGHT cheek." If you act that scenario out with pretend slaps, it shows you've just been back-handed! And, when you turn the other cheek, the slap would likely hit your neck.

Not sure the significance of this, but it's interesting. Thoughts?

So my book is a YA political fantasy, and my inspiration came from worldly shows. In my book my characters use profanity, but over time i started getting inspiration from the real world and the Bible. My themes from the begining was to shed a light on injustice, finding purpose, and leaving the past behind. What do i do if i want to glorify God in my writing?
