That is also a concept in law “The punishment must fit the crime”, or in Bible language – “an eye for an eye.” You will know that each one of us sin against God’s law (as reflected in the Bible) on a daily basis. Not only by our outward actions, but also by our thoughts. So some form of penalty is due. You can choose to pay the penalty yourself, or accept Jesus’ substitutionary death on the cross for your sins.What you describe is not justice. It is simple, animal revenge. It is the "justice" of the cruel and wicked, and the "crime" is opting to not enslave ourselves.
The funny thing is, Christians came along and "solved" God's need for "justice" by the following: He can come to Earth, allowed himself to be tortured for six hours, and VIOLA! Justice for all perverse animalistic urges inherited by mankind has been served! (Only for those who trick themselves into belief though).
