Indeed, if I had known Christ, I wouldn’t have behaved the way I did. We forgive and move on from our pains and past. In other words, God wants us to love each other, just as we love ourselves.Īnd if that’s the case, there would be no room for hate and revenge. They are so numerous that we cannot memorize and obey them.Ĭhrist’s death has put an end to such laws, and the scripture says, if we love one another, we have fulfilled God’s commandments. Have you ever gone through the 613 laws of Moses? Proverbs 19:5Ī false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free.Īn eye for an Eye Scriptures: What you must know 1. 21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. 20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. Then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. You must purge the evil from among you. Exodus 21:14ġ4 But if anyone schemes and kills someone deliberately, that person is to be taken from my altar and put to death. 13 However, if it is not done intentionally, but God lets it happen, they are to flee to a place I will designate. “Anyone who strikes a person with a fatal blow is to be put to death. Numbers 35:31ģ1 “‘Do not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. “‘Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. Genesis 9:6Ħ “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed for in the image of God has God made mankind Numbers 35:30 And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being. I will demand an accounting from every animal. Genesis 9:5Īnd for your lifeblood, I will surely demand an accounting. Deuteronomy 19:11-12īut if out of hate someone lies in wait, assaults and kills a neighbor, and then flees to one of these cities, 12 the killer shall be sent for by the town elders, be brought back from the city, and be handed over to the avenger of blood to die. ‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death. 22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.’” Leviticus 24:17 Leviticus 24:21-22Ģ1 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death. Leviticus 24:19-20Īnyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. Exodus 21:23-25Ģ3 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows.
So, I continued in the relationship for years without saying a word. I said to myself, “If she could hurt me this much without any remorse, She deserves to feel the same way.” This really hurt the very foundation of my soul. Then over time, I noticed she was cheating on me.
We were best of friends and truly loved each other. It all started more than ten years ago before I was born again.
I have had a similar issue with a friend in the past. Sometimes, we get so frustrated with our offenders that we pay them back. Notwithstanding, we still practice these laws unknowingly. Though the scripture mentions an “eye for an eye” multiple times, Christ has ended such laws. Taking an act of revenge is a sin before God.
