Eye 4 Eye

It's a pity how some people applaud getting even, instead of turning the other cheek (Matthew  5:39) ... While you study the bible, you'll comprehend that the term "an eye for any eye" is a rule that was instituted as a guide for the judges (Exodus 21:24-25), not a rule for personal relationships or to justify seeking revenge ... Furthermore, this rule was created so the punishment would fit the crime and not to carry on cruel or barbaric act to suit a person's own needs ...

On the contrary, Jesus Christ refers to this principal when He taught us not to be retaliate (Matthew 5:38-48) ...
