Does the "eye for an eye" rule apply to Christians?
No, this rule is not binding on Christians. It was part of the Mosaic Law, which Jesus' sacrificial death abolished. - ROMANS 10:4.
Even so, the rule provides insight into God's way of thinking. For example, it shows that God values justice. (Psalm 89:14) It also reveals his standard of justice-namely, that wrongdoers should be disciplined "to the proper degree." - JEREMIAH 30:11.
