Is an eye for an eye a good standard of justice?
God does not seem to think so.
Our standard of justice as shown in the scriptures and in most governments is based on an eye for an eye where the penalty has a relationship to the severity of the offence.
God does not go by this standard.
In his eyes, all sins are the same, in terms of the penalty God planned and will be punished eternally and in the same way.
Is Gods eternal punishment for all sinners, great or small, good justice?
If so, should we scrap an eye for an eye and have the same punishment for all crimes and sins?
Should we follow Gods lead instead of going against it in secular justice?
Is an eye for an eye good justice?
If you think so, please speculate on Gods overkill in terms of punishment.
