The Jewish laws were clear--"an eye for an eye"-"give your enemy no peace",divorce your wife with a personal letter,stone adulterers to death,don't work on the Sabbath etc--Christ overturned these barbaric laws--and was accused of blasphemy for doing so--If Christ rejected these laws--why do fundamentalists still believe they are sacred??
Exodus 21: 23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Matthew 5: 38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right
cheek, turn to him the other also.
