Is God’s justice close to an eye for an eye?
There are many references in scripture that indicate that an eye for an eye is good justice. This notion that a penalty should fit the crime has even been adopted by most legal system in the world.
Leviticus 24:20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
This rather good policy is often contradicted in other scriptures that call for death to sinners who have done much less in terms of harm or sin than causing a death. We are told to stone unruly children, fornicators, witches and so on to a rather long list.
God himself has either killed or had killed many, even children and babies who in no way could have killed anyone.
Scripture tells us to revere life yet God and many of the laws attributed to him seem to ignore completely any reverence to life. In fact, to me, scriptures seem to make life an extremely cheap commodity even as it shows how important we are supposed to be to God. His greatest achievement in fact that even angels are to bow before.
Should an eye for an eye be re-written by God and the bible to read ------ an eye for whatever the hell God, Jesus and the scriptures say?
This immoral killing goes right back to Eden with God killing Adam and Eve for following scripture and emulating God.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
When they did as asked, and this was recognized by God himself; Gen 3: 22 Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: He killed them by withholding the tree of life.
This issue of indiscriminate killing is an important contradiction in scriptures.
What do you think God’s law is?
An eye for an eye or the punishment should fit the sin; or, kill even if the victim to be has not come anywhere near killing?
