Is it true?

Question

You know how people say that two wrongs don't make a right? Ok so how about if my wrong multiplies for example: If someone rapes/kills my child and I kill him and his sisters, mother - actually his whole family - does it make a right then? How many wrongs does it take to make a right or can only rights make rights?

Audible assistant your statement is true -Wrongs only make a right when your rightouessly accept that what you did was wrong... then I can commit my wrongs and then repent - are you saying that it will be right then?

Answer 1

No number of wrongs can make a right.

Leave vengeance to God and justice to the courts.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

the saying is "two wrongs make a right" and it isn't a law of natural or anything. Most of the time two wrongs are just two wrongs. The saying is only used to situations in which it applies as a cute little quip.

for example two wrongs that do make a right would be if I was suppost to pick up milk at the store, but I forgot (one wrong). However, my boyfriend thought forget that I was picking it up so he also stopped and got milk even though it wasn't his job (second wrong). But it all ended up okay because someone did get the milk, and we didn't get stuck with either 0 or 2.

Answer 3

So, blaming the sister for what the brother does makes anything right? No, only punishing the offender makes things better. The only thing that would make things right is to turn back the clock and stop the event from happening, which is as yet impossible.

Answer 4

No amount of wrongs make a right. Only accepting Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and Savior will make a difference.
References: Romans 3:23 & 6:23

Answer 5

Wrongs only make a right when your rightouessly accept that what you did was wrong. In other words a sin is only a sin when you acknowledge you comitted a "Sin".
Afterwards, a sense of well being takes over your wrong and transforms it to an acceptable way of living.

Answer 6

All I know is 3 rights make a left.

Answer 7

A hundred quadrillion wrongs wouldn't make a right. Only rights make rights. Don't try to fix something wrong by doing something else wrong.

Answer 8

Doing wrong is never right.

The ends do NOT justify the means.

To undo a wrong, or a make a wrong be right, you must do enough right to compensate for the wrong done.

Scriptures tell us to forgive. "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head."

Jesus said to pray for them that hurt you, do good to them that despitefully use you, and bless them that curse you.

This reverses the wrong that was first done and makes it a right.

Answer 9

"Two wrong don't make a right" simply means that for every wrong that is done there can be no wrong that will make it right.But it is interesting to note that the Bible also teaches us "an eye for an eye" which suggest the exact opposite of the other lesson.

Exodus 21:23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

Lev. 24:20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

Deut. 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

But then it also says in the New Testament:

Matt 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Answer 10

No amount of wrongs can make a right. Violence only begets more violence. However, three rights do make a left.
