Just a point of order....An eye for an eye was under Mosaic Law, Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses, and his second great commandment was love thy neighbor as thyself. When sked how many times one should forgive their enemies Jesus replied "seven times seventy". Seven is an interesing number, in the original hebrew, it can also mean infinity, or an infinite number....Before I get the reputation of being a Bible thumper, let me say this:I carry a gun, I am licensed to carry it and I voted that I would kill my attacker because that is the closest option to defending my safety, and the safety of my family.
