The ten commandments say “Thou shalt not kill.” But then in the book of Exodus it says “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot…” but then in the new testament (Matthew) it references Exodus and says nevermind that, turn the other cheek. Do I add up all the + and - in the bible and go by the total? Do the ten commandments win by default? Judge not lest ye be judged, so should we not have a court system? :gotme:

That’s why there’s the saying “What would Jesus do?” not “What does the Bible say?”
