This ia basically due to misreadings of several passages, like turning the other cheek, etc. A believer really needs to revisit that verse and closely study the context and the timeline.

The misreading of passages of the Bible is absolutely an issue. Both Christians and non-Christians do it regularly, but often(not always) for different reasons.

Non-Christians usually ‘misread’ short passages (most frequently, tiny fragments of the Biblical passages) because they are searching for “proof” of their perspective/narrative. They usually do this in order to use the the snippets out of context against Christians trying to live by the God’s guidelines for living.

Christians (especially shallow Christians) do this sometimes do something similar to this as well, but it is more common that they simply fail to realize some basic principles of hermeneutics. They don’t realize that God inspired all of the Bible and God never changes therefore, if they read something in His word that appears to contradict something He inspired elsewhere, then they need to dig deeper to understand what they are misinterpreting.

An example of this is when some Christians say the Bible tells us to love our children not to punish them when they don’t do what we want them to do. They will quote Eph 6:4 or Col 3:21 and back this up with Eph 4:32 and John 13:34. It is good that they don’t just take a single verse out of context and leave it with that, but they fail to take the full context of God’s word and understand that God is unchanging and He never changes His mind or tells one person to say one thing while telling another person to contradict that first person. Prov 13:24 tells us that if we love our children we will not hesitate to discipline them. It goes so far as to say that if we don’t discipline them, it shows that we hate them. God teaches us what it means to truly love our children as He loves His children in Hebrews 12:4-13. This periscope (and many others throughout the whole Bible), shows that to love our children we must give them what they need more than what they want. They have rebellion bound up in their hearts, and need guidance that sometimes isn’t pleasant at the time, but will take them off that path that leads to longterm suffering and pain.

Corporal punishment is often seen as spiteful and wrong, but the Bible shows us that there sometimes is a place for this. It also shows that the motives for it must be pure. We can’t strike our children because we are angry or want to ‘get even’ for something. Our love must be the motive for even the most harsh of responses. I experienced many spankings when I was young and I appreciate them far more than the times I was not disciplined when I should have been. When I spanked my children or disciplined them in other ways, it was never a surprise to them that it was coming. After spanking my children I always offered them a hug and they never once turned it down. As a matter of a fact, I remember they usually jumped into my arms and hugged my neck pretty tightly. Then after the tears quickly ended they were running around playing and laughing almost immediately and a well behaved child was happy again even while their behinds were still warm from the spanking that saddened my as much as it them. I believe my children were far happier than most of their peers and that may be why so many of them seemed to spend so much time at our house instead of their own.

There are far better examples of the misreading of the Bible but this is one that comes to mind first.
