As Christians, we must heed Christ's DEMAND of us and turn the other cheek.

The Old Testament is in the Bible, too. It is inspired as well (if you are a Christian, you surely believe this). I recall the part about "an eye for an eye."

Interestingly, though people now look at "an eye for an eye" as barbaric, it was actually a limitation on retribution, ie., you don't cut off a thief's arm for stealing a loaf of bread.
