But it was GOD HIMSELF who said "eye for an eye"! Is Jesus "correcting" God Himself? Did God tell them in Exodus to do what He didn't want them to do? This is an example of partial, incomplete revelation that God gave mankind. In His plan of salvation, He slowly unfolded His will among men, culminating in the New Law of Love taught by Jesus Christ. HE is the fulfillment of the Law - He fills it and completes God's original meaning.
