Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday revealed his favorite Bible teaching: the Old Testament adage of an “eye for an eye.”
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”
The idea of an “eye for an eye” as fair punishment is part of the Bible’s Old Testament. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ instructs his followers to reject that teaching and instead turn the other cheek.
