Crusty, I would beg to differ with you on that "major contradiction." The eye for an eye law was given to the Children of Israel as they traveled in the wilderness. They had no jails in which to place criminals...or Ronnie Willis to protect them (yes, that was sarcasm). Don't you think the possibility of such a punishment would deter crime?

"Turning the other cheek" doesn't mean we have to be masochists or doormats. We forgive and try to help those who have sinned against us. It doesn't literally mean we have to stand there and let someone hit us again.
