The main intent of the Mosaic Legislation was to control e___________. In this case particularly, it was to control anger and violence and the desire to get revenge.
the scribes and Pharisees, in typical legalistic fashion, deduced that in every case this “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” philosophy was to be the norm.
They ignored the fact that Moses had also said, “"Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD."
This passage is not to be taken outside of the context that it is found in... Remember that it was to the same people that have been addressed in the beatitudes.... those who were poor in spirit, ect.
The New Testament teaches that, until a man comes under grace, he must be kept u________ the law.
Vengeful r______________ has no place in society at large, and even less place among those who belong to Christ. We are called to overcome someone's evil toward us by doing g___________ to them (Rom. 12:21
This is the spirit that led Stephen to pray for those who were stoning him to death. It is the spirit of every believer who, by the Holy Spirit's power, seeks to be perfect even as our heavenly Father is perfect (v. 48).
