It never ceases to amaze me how the self-professed Biblical experts insist that their interpretations, such as Eye for an Eye, are correct and that some lay person’s meaning is completely wrong. It’s rather arrogant in my opinion.

The point of most any common phrase, Bible originated or not, is to convey points that many automatically can agree with at some level. So what if Trump’s usage technically doesn’t comport with some “self-appointed scholar’s” standard. Cannot they understand the simple concept of “Tit for Tat?”

Self appointed scholar? Man.... you're just showing your ignorance. All of Christendom knows Christ's teaching about an eye for an eye. It's not an obscure interpretation.

Good grief....
