Didn’t know it was a serious question.

In any case, “Eye for an Eye” isn’t a proscription. It’s a maximum and an example of what remedies are available to man.

In terms of Torah Law and New Testament law, I would fall down on the side Mark:17-20

And the The Ten Commandments are found in the New Testament but, not in tablet or in an archived sequence.

Of course we shouldn’t forget that Christ also elevated hiw we are to order our mind and hearts to wo we don’t act contrary to God’s laws and guides.

Not sure why you are strenuously fixated on this question

If the Eye for Eye thing bothers you I’m happy to drop him in a wood chipper, an inch at a time, with a cigarette break every 15 minutes...

It wasn’t about you, I just asked if you knew what you were posting.

Hollywood uses that as probably the most uttered bible verse by Christians, in Westerns and horror flicks the Christians and psychos for some negative reason, are always calling for an “eye for an eye”, to show how ugly and brutal and hateful they are.

You can't do that. Second hand smoke will kill him.
