An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth

Matthew 5:38-39『Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:  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. 』

 

In this worldly expression, there was something called lextalionis. This is also referred to as "retaliation". However, "lextalionis" is not meant to be retaliated against, but it means "pay the same level of compensation" to the victim.

 『 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:  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.  』 "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" was told to pay back, which was to the suspect, which was misrepresented as speaking to the victim. You hurt others for this, and you should compensate as much as you hurt them. However, the reality is to exercise it in a normal way.

Jesus said in verse 39 or less about how to act when a victim is hurt.

『:  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.  And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.  And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.  Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 』 From the suspect's point of view, it is said to compensate for the damage caused to others, and to forgive the damage from others.

However, it is an expression of Israel and Gentiles in a spiritual sense. Cain is Israel, and the one who kills Cain is a Gentile. It is an expression that God chose Israel, but in the end the Gentiles will be saved first.

Cain was seven times, but Lamech was seventy-seven times. It is almost ten times that of Cain. In Genesis 4:15, "And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. The Gentiles who kill Cain are under the wrath of God, but God saved them because they repented and received the forgiveness of their sins through the ransom of Jesus Christ. Salvation comes first to the Gentiles. The number seven means to go to rest.

『Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:  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』 From the victim's point of view, it means to forgive rather than retaliate if you are hurt by others. He also received great grace from God, so please forgive me. So, the suspect is to create an opportunity to turn to God. It's not easy humanly.

Following Matthew 5, the Lord's Prayer in Chapter 6. Again, it is almost the same as in Matthew 14:14-15, "Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.『 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.  And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 』

God's forgiveness of human sins is that the Greek grammar is a past perfect usage. Our forgiveness of other people's sins is a pending sentence. If you think about it according to the tense, the back and forth are not correct. It is not grammatically correct to say, "Because we are forgiving other people's sins, God has forgiven our sins in the past." Then, the saying, "Because God has forgiven our sins, we also forgive other people's sins" is correct. When it comes to forgiveness, the phrase "God comes first, man comes first" doesn't seem right.

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...

Question 49. How did Christ humble himself in his death?

  Question 49. How did Christ humble himself in his death? Answer. Christ humbled himself in his death, in being betrayed by Judas, forsaken by his own disciples, mocked and rejected by the world, condemned by Pilate, suffering under persecutors, struggling with the fear of death and the powers of darkness, feeling and enduring the terrible wrath of God, laying down his life a sacrifice for sin, and enduring the pains, shame, and cursed death of the cross. Matthew 27:28-30 “ And they stripped him of his clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. Then they platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they put a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him and mocked him, saying, ‘ Hail, King of the Jews! ’ Then they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. ” Jesus did not humble himself before the death on the cross, which was condemned by the Jewish leaders as a blasphemer, but humbled himself before the justice of God. And he endured and endured ...
