Tuesday, 28 January 2025 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Matthew 7:2 “For in what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and in what measure you measure, it will be remeasured to you” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus said to not judge that not you may be judged. Now to continue explaining that, He says, “For in what judgment you judge, you will be judged.”   In other words, and what should be evident from Matthew 7:1 alone because of how Jesus' words fit into the rest of Scripture is that when one judges in a certain manner, that same judgment can be expected to be returned to him. If you pass by people and judge them based on their clothing, it can be expected that the same judgment will be returned to you.   The person who calls the police about people speeding by his house is bound to get ticketed by the police he called for his own driving too fast to get home. He may have only been going 47 in a 40 zone while the people he complained about were going 65, but he is now subject to the same judgment that he expected toward others. If he didn't call the cops to patrol his road, he never would have received the ticket.   The nagging woman down the road who calls code enforcement over every minor issue will, eventually, have someone call code enforcement on her for her own issues. Examples such as these are the types of things Jesus is referring to.   He was not saying to not make any judgments, period. He is making a point concerning what can be expected by those who go around pointing fingers at others from some supposed position of moral authority that really doesn't exist except in their own minds. He reconfirms this with another similar example, saying, “and in what measure you measure, it will be remeasured to you.”   The word metron, a measure, is introduced. HELPS Word Studies says it “is the controlling basis by which something is determined as acceptable or unacceptable – preeminently rooting to the Lord Himself as His being is the only ultimate measure of truth.”   When making up one's own measure instead of using an accepted standard, an equal measure can be expected to return upon the one who has initiated the standard.   This repetition of thought while using a different subject confirms the entire analysis. Jesus is not saying to not judge, period. He is saying that when you do judge in a particular manner, a like judgment is expected to come back to you. Albert Barnes says, “You shall be judged by the same rule which you apply to others.”   A basic example of this measure rule is seen when a person walks down the street and arbitrarily punches someone else in the head. He has set an arbitrary standard of acceptability which stems from his own demented mind.   There are times when the person who is hit will go down for the count. However, some people can take a punch like that and return the same, bringing a measure of pain in return.   If the first person minded his own business and left others alone, he would have been fine. But in measuring out punches during his afternoon walk, he may suddenly be forced to have liquid lunches for the rest of his life.   This type of measurement is exactingly seen in the Lex Talionis provision found in the Law of Moses –   “If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him— 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. 21 And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death. 22 You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 24:19-22   Life application: Matthew 7 began with, “Not you judge.” As a stand-alone thought, one can easily conclude that based on Jesus' words, Christians are not to make any judgments at all. And this is exactly how those words are used innumerable times a day by others in an attempt to impose their own perverted sense of morality on others.   But those opening words fit into a context that explains just what Jesus meant. To take what He said out of context is to form a pretext. That is now clearly evident after analyzing the rest of Matthew 7:1 along with Matthew 7:2.   Understanding this, doesn't it seem reasonable that when you are told by someone that you must observe the Law of Moses you should check the context to make sure that what you are told actually fits into the rest of Scripture?   Many verses concerning the law are pulled out of their greater context and are then used in just this way, forming a pretext with the intent of bringing you into bondage to their perverted ideas of doctrine and theology.   Of all of the concepts found in Paul's epistles, this is the one that he deals with the most. His words, along with a proper contextual analysis of the rest of Scripture, show that the law is fulfilled and annulled through the work of Jesus. Christians are to accept this, live by grace, and not place themselves under a yoke that they were never intended to carry.   Be on guard! Check the context! Live by God's glorious grace! Come to Jesus and be free from the law.   “And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.” Galatians 5:3, 4   Lord God, Your word is big and filled with many concepts and precepts, but everything it says must be considered based on the surrounding and the overall context. Help us to consider these things and to not be led astray by people with perverse agendas. May we live by grace in Your presence all our days. Amen.  

Interview by Angela CroudaceProject Ultimate Satan, the brutal death metal band from Canberra, has been shaking up the metal scene with their unique blend of symphonic elements and raw aggression. The band's latest album, The Opus Satanas, released under their label, StudioDecay, is a testament to the band's resilience and innovation, as it has undergone a tumultuous yet creative journey. We sat down with the guitarist, backup vocalist, and the founder of the band, JDecay, to talk about the band's origins, the making of the album, and their bold vision."Project Ultimate Satan was born from a few different musical journeys," Decay explains. "It all started in 2019 when I was working with the band Inhuman Remnants. I was trying out guitarists and eventually brought in Darryl as a pianist. We hit it off, but the other members weren't keen on shifting from Deathgrind to a more symphonic sound. That's when the seed for Project Ultimate Satan was planted."The band's evolution wasn't easy. After a line-up change and the disruptive impact of COVID-19, The Opus Satanas was delayed multiple times, but the result is worth the wait. "We started recording in 2019 and finished in 2021," JDecay reflects. "Lockdowns and other personal challenges made it tough, but in the end, we were able to refine it. Now, we're ready to push it out and tour."The album is divided into two movements: Malefus Malefacaram and Lex Talionis. The first movement is a deep dive into themes of persecution, inspired by the Hammer of Witches (a 15th-century guide to witch-hunting). The second movement (the Latin phrase referencing the legal principle of exact retaliation) explores the concept of "an eye for an eye," drawing on the story of duality. JDecay elaborates, "The first movement is about persecution, while the second is about retribution. We really wanted to split the album into two halves that represent a journey. It's a raw, brutal exploration of human struggle."A standout feature of The Opus Satanas is its unique sound, blending symphonic elements with death metal intensity. "I wanted to bring in more melody to death metal, adding piano and orchestration. We were experimenting with these larger ideas that, for me, just felt right."As for the band name, Decay said that Project Ultimate Satan came about after an episode of Futurama and thought that it was the perfect name for a band that wasn't already taken."It's all about pushing boundaries," says JDecay with a chuckle. "We wanted something provocative and strong—something that would make people stop and think."With a dedicated fanbase and a fresh sound, Project Ultimate Satan is ready to make their mark. "We've learned a lot through trial and error," JDecay says. "But now, we're tighter than ever, and we're ready to bring The Opus Satanas to life."JDecay is deeply committed to supporting smaller bands and musicians in the metal community. Through his work with StudioDecay, he focuses on artist development, helping emerging acts build their identity, sound, and presence. "We try to give back by focusing on artist development," he says, emphasizing the importance of assisting bands with the business side of music—something many new musicians are unaware of. From helping craft professional PR packages to guiding bands on networking with PR reps, JDecay ensures these smaller acts are equipped with the tools they need to succeed. His approach goes beyond just music; it's about empowering artists to navigate the complexities of the music industry, helping them understand how to get on shows, work with labels, and build a sustainable career. Despite being a smaller label with limited funds, JDecay's dedication to nurturing talent and creating a supportive community reflects his commitment to helping others succeed in a challenging industry. Not bad at all for a few guys from the ACT!Watch for their upcoming Australian tour, and prepare for a death metal experience like no other.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Friday, 13 December 2024   “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' Matthew 5:38   “You heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus noted that one's Yes should be yes and his No should be no. Anything beyond that is out of evil. He now starts a new thought, saying, “You heard that it was said.”   He again turns to that which was heard and understood by all. It is a precept out of the law itself which He will provide additional insights into what God expects. The precept is found first in Exodus 21:24. It is then repeated in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, “Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.”   The original precept said –   “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” Exodus 21:22-25   This law is known as the Lex Talionis, the law of retaliation. The punishment is given to resemble the offense in both kind and degree of severity. It is a right standard for keeping people in check. If someone knows that he will have his eye plucked out for plucking out someone else's eye, the chances are that he will restrain from doing that.   This goes for pretty much every action that will be repaid in kind. When one understands that his actions against someone will lead to like punishment, he will normally use wisdom and restrain himself.   This type of punishment was certainly to be evaluated and meted out in a judicial setting. It was not something that people were to do on their own. Whether this was something people did without judicial approval or not may be a part of how society in general acted, but it is certain that this was not expected to be what one would normally carry out on his own.   Jesus will next clarify what people should do in such cases of offense.   Life application: Exodus 21, cited above, specifically deals with the murder of an unborn child. The obvious point is that there is a child in the womb considered a human being. This is to be taken as an axiom, and yet it is as common as pages in a book for people to intentionally destroy their unborn children through abortion.   If you want to know if the Lord, who gave us the words of the Bible, finds aborting a child acceptable, one read through Scripture, while taking notes concerning the unborn, will reveal the truth. It is a great sin against human morality, and it is something that can never be condoned when placed in the light of Scripture.   Use wisdom in how you evaluate such moral matters. What is legal does not necessarily equate to what is right. The same people who find it acceptable to abort children because it is legal will claim that past policies concerning slavery cannot be condoned, even though it was legal. The thinking is awry. We must use Scripture as our standard for understanding what is morally acceptable or not.   Lord God, we live in a world of confused thinking, especially over moral precepts. Society cannot be the standard for our moral choices. That has failed throughout history. Where can we go to determine such things? To Scripture! Help us to use Your word to solidify our morals. Surely, in this, we will be doing what is right in Your eyes. Amen.

Of all the surprising things that Jesus says in His Sermon on the Mount, his address of the Lex Talionis ("an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth") remains one of the most interesting.  Listen to hear what Jesus teaches and what that has to do with us as believers.

Show Notes Your Own Personal Jesus 1.Was Jesus a pacifist? Jesus taught non-violence. That's what we have been told. Is it true? You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. Matthew 5:38–42 This is what comes to mind when discussing Jesus' response to violence. It was an example mentioned in both the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, in contexts that suggest that he mentioned in on two separate occasions. That would make it a teaching he meant to reinforce through repetition. What does it mean? These teachings had a profound effect on Christian thinking over the centuries. Think about the break with the Mosaic law that Jesus' words created, the teaching that reinforced the Lex Talionis. Christian Anarchy is political-religious movement. It teaches, among other things, that any earthy government is inherently evil. It teaches that the principles of Jesus' teaching demand a rejection of hierarchical power structures used by the organized church, and state. One of the most vocal and popular of it's proponents was author Leo Tolstoy, who described the mainstream church and state, and its contrast with Christian Anarchy: “That this social order with its pauperism, famines, prisons, gallows, armies, and wars is necessary to society; that still greater disaster would ensue if this organization were destroyed; all this is said only by those who profit by this organization, while those who suffer from it – and they are ten times as numerous – think and say quite the contrary.” Tolstoy's book, “The Kingdom of God is Within You,” (1894) taught that the proper way to interpret Jesus' statement, “turn the other cheek,” was as a call to non-violent resistance. This interpretation has had lasting effects. Tolstoy's correspondence with a young Mohandas Gandhi, and the absorption of those teachings by American civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King bore this idea out. This seems to be the best way to interpret Jesus' teaching, but is the idea of turning the other cheek situational? In other words, is there a time that reacting without violence is counterproductive? Here is an example of Jesus' teachings shifting over the span of his brief period on earth. Earlier in his ministry he sends his disciples out to evangelize alone, to tell neighboring villages about the good news. Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts— no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep. ** Matthew 10: 9-10** Shortly before his death and glorification, Jesus reminds his disciples of the time that he spent apart from them. Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. Luke 22:35-36 It seems that Jesus is telling his disciples to be prepared if they must defend themselves. Maybe he meant that there is no glory in being victimized. Here is example of Jesus personally behaving in a way that could be considered violent: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started! Matthew 23: 27-31 This passage is from one of Jesus' public battles with the religious authorities of his time. Jesus' verbal assault goes on, and is absolutely relentless. The religious organization of the Temple, and I must stress, it was during this time, had pretended to meet the needs of the people, but instead was willing to work with the occupying Roman government to achieve its own ends. It also found ways of profiting from the miseries of the people. An example: The sacrifice of animals was the accepted temple way of doing penance for sins. A person would bring an animal, size and type determined according to Moses law, and have the priest sacrifice it. This animal would have to be without blemishes, a perfect specimen. Because many people traveled to the temple, on pilgrimage, and many were not farmers, but tradesmen, the animals in question were often purchased on temple grounds. The Romans had demanded that the common currency of all colonized countries was to be Roman coin, with an engraved image of the Emperor. Since this was considered a graven image money had to be exchanged at the temple for money that did not bear the likeness of a false god. The result was that vendors put up booths selling livestock on temple grounds, and penitent sinners wandered into the temple courts looking for the best exchange rates. Unscrupulous money changers set the rate of exchange, and the price of sacrificial animals. A penitent, in a state of shame for their offenses, might not be able to afford all this. The truly impoverished lived under crippling guilt of their sins. When Jesus healed these people he would often end with the phrase, “Your sins are forgiven.” He could have easily said, ‘No charge.” No sacrifices, no payment. Recognizing all this, you can imagine how Jesus reacted to seeing the stalls of animals inside the sacred courts of the Temple. Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.' Matthew 21: 12-13 The book of Mathew describes this as a succession of stories that lead of to the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. It is as if Jesus accelerates his attacks on the organized church and its hypocrisy, knowing that he has a limited time. All four of the gospel authors describe Jesus purging the temple. John, generally accepted as the last of the gospels written, includes a detail where Jesus makes a scourge of cords and uses it to rush the animals and their owners out. 2.

Sermon 59 in Series Exodus 21:18-32 [18] “When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and the man does not die but takes to his bed, [19] then if the man rises again and walks outdoors with his staff, he who struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall have him thoroughly healed. [20] “When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. [21] But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money. [22] “When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. [23] But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life, [24] eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, [25] burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. [26] “When a man strikes the eye of his slave, male or female, and destroys it, he shall let the slave go free because of his eye. [27] If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the slave go free because of his tooth. [28] “When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox shall not be liable. [29] But if the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it in, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death. [30] If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed on him. [31] If it gores a man's son or daughter, he shall be dealt with according to this same rule. [32] If the ox gores a slave, male or female, the owner shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. DEEP SHEET: Sermon Study Questions 1.   Up to this point, what has this legal material in Exodus taught you about the Lord? How has it given you practical wisdom? 2.   How do the quarreling/fighting scenarios highlight self-control and the sanctity of human life? In what ways do they show God's justice? 3.   What protections were in place for slaves harmed by their masters? How was this unique in the ancient world? 4.   How does the “eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth” principle (lex talionis) maximize justice? What does Jesus say about this principle in our personal interactions? 5.   How does the last scenario challenge you to exercise greater care and to have a higher view of human life? 6.   In what general and particular ways does this passage point us to Christ? References: Exodus 24:7; James 4:1-2; Genesis 4:23-24; Matthew 5:38-40; Proverbs 29:19; Job 31:15; Ephesians 6:9; Genesis 9:5; Numbers 35:31; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Matthew 26:15.

"Lex Talionis and the Gospel" Matthew 5:38-42 Rex Durham

R.S.A. Garcia is a Trinbagonian speculative fiction author who lives in Trinidad and Tobago with her extended family, and as she says, too many cats and dogs :^) Her debut science fiction mystery novel, Lex Talionis, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, silver medal for best sci-fi fantasy horror ebook from the Independent Publishers award, and became an Amazon Best Seller.She's also published some incredible short fiction, including the novella Philia, Eros, Storge, Agápe, Pragma. If you speak Greek, then you may know the meaning of those words: they are all different kinds of love. The novella explores the question of love in its many different forms.The story's science-fictional world - which includes artificial intelligence, space travel, and interplanetary conflict - is imbued with relationship, family, and respect for tradition, but also a willingness to risk everything for a better future. It draws on both historical realities from our world and richly imagined possibilities from R.S.A.'s incredible imagination. So I'm really excited for you to hear this one, and I hope that you leave here with an urge to read even more of her beautiful writing.Connect with R.S.A.:rsagarcia.comrsagarcia.com/publicationsLex Talionis by R.S.A.

Hear now the word of the Lord from Matthew 5:38-42. 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. Matthew 5:38-42 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God endures forever. On January 7th, 1865, a man named Asa McCoy was murdered by a group of Confederate home guards called the Logan Wildcats. Asa had returned from fighting in the Civil War. He fought for the Union in the 45th Kentucky Infantry, and when he came home, he was murdered by Confederate sympathizers. One of the chief suspects for Asa McCoy's death was a man named William Anderson Hatfield. He was immediately suspected of this crime. However, later it came to see that, in fact, he hadn't committed it because he had been home sick at the time. But that started the beginning of some bad blood between the Hatfield's and McCoys. A little over a decade later, in 1878, there was another issue. This time not over a murder, over something small. It was a disputed property right over a hog. A man named Bill Staton, who had relations to both families, the Hatfields and McCoys, he gave testimony that ultimately led the judge to award ownership of the hog to the Hatfield family. Well, now the McCoys felt that, well, they had someone murdered, and maybe it was that Hatfield guy. They lost a hog to these Hatfields. So two of the McCoy brothers rose up to murder Bill Staton as retaliation for what they perceive was to be gross injustice. Well, from there, things spiraled out of control. One thing led to another. One side's retaliation led the other side to retaliate even more back and forth the violence went, until this became an absolutely legendary feud where over a dozen people on both sides were killed. If you look at a story like that, a legendary story, the Hatfields and McCoys. By the way, they eventually did make some sort of peace in 1979, members from both of those families came together for a weeklong special of the television show Family Feud. So every day they had five of these episodes and these two family members did it. However, when the Hatfields won more money, the show wisely gave the McCoys an equal amount so that they wouldn't cause increase to the issues there. You look at the story of how that turned out in the 19th century, the back and forth, the murdering, the tit for tat, the eye for an eye, the revenge, the retaliation. Then two questions arise. You think, why didn't someone stop it earlier? Why didn't someone stand up and say, enough is enough? This is only causing more bloodshed, more violence, more sorrow. We've got to stop this before it gets more out of control. The second thing I think we also have to ask is, even if we're not murdering people over hog rights, isn't it true that my own heart wants to get even? Isn't it true that I want justice for all the ways in which I feel like people have aggrieved me, have wronged me? I want to get even. I want to get my eye for an eye. I want to get my pound of flesh. How often do we feel that way in our hearts as we relate to the world? Well as Jesus teaches about this law, an eye for an eye. He's showing us two things. First of all, he is showing us that that this sense in attitude and spirit of retaliation, that we approach almost everything in life, all of our relationships in life, Jesus wants us to see just how much suffering it causes. Not only the suffering that we inflict upon other people, but the suffering in our own souls. The second thing that Jesus wants us to see is that to put an end to all of this, he had to come to suffer for sinners. That's our big idea today that Jesus came to suffer for sinners. The solution to this problem, what is going to put an end to all of these endless bouts of retaliation, is that Jesus came to suffer for sinners. As we study this Texas morning, we'll look at two parts. The first part I'll call dispassionate suffering, and there's a reason I'm using that term, dispassionate suffering. We'll talk about that when we're going to try to unpack what exactly Jesus is teaching us here. What's the principle that he's trying to communicate? Then second, we're going to look at affectionate love, affectionate love. You may have a definition for what that means in your mind, put that out of your mind. We're going to look to biblical definitions for passions and affections as we're going to talk about this this morning. Affectionate love where we're going to look at the illustrations that Jesus gives about how we are then to conduct our lives. The first point we'll take a little bit longer as we try to unpack what Jesus is saying here, because we need to see it. It's very important for our lives. 1. Dispassionate Suffering 2. Affectionate Love. Dispassionate Suffering So coming into this first point, dispassionate suffering. Jesus here in verse 38 says, "You have heard that it was said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Jesus is quoting here what many people, whether they're looking at the Bible or really a lot of ancient laws, a lot of ancient civilizations had this kind of a law. It's called Lex Talionis, which is a Latin term. That simply means the law of retaliation, a law of retaliation, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We see this all over the Old Testament, Exodus 21:24, Leviticus 24:20, Deuteronomy 19:21. Each time, as Jesus has taught about different aspects of the Old Testament law, we always have to ask ourselves, how is Jesus quoting this? In what sense is He quoting this? What does He want us to get from this quotation and what is Jesus teaching us about this legal principle from the Old Testament law. We have seen a few occasions where Jesus has quoted the law to show that there has been an unlawful narrowing of the scope of the law. So when he talked about murder, he said, you can't simply narrow that to say that only physical murder is forbidden by the law. The law against murder, the Sixth Commandment, addresses how our hearts feel. If anger rises up against us, Jesus says you were already guilty of violating the Sixth Commandment. In terms of adultery, Jesus says, you can't just limit that, narrow that to physical adultery. If lust arises in your heart toward someone who is not your spouse, you have already committed a sin of adultery in your heart. You have violated the Seventh Commandment. Last week when we looked at oaths and vows. You cannot narrow the terms of what God says about our oaths and vows to say that you're only bound to your word if you have explicitly invoked the name of God. That's what the Pharisees were teaching. Jesus says, we are, to be honest in all of our dealings with the people around us. Sometimes Jesus is quoting unlawful narrowing of the law, but sometimes He is then also quoting an expansion an unlawful expansion of the law. So, for example, in his teaching on divorce, he quoted Deuteronomy 24:1, which said that if a man wants to divorce his wife because there is some indecency found in her, and Jesus says the one who divorced his wife for the sake of sexual immorality, that's one thing, there Deuteronomy 24:1 pertains. You have to offer a certificate of divorce to finalize that divorce. Jesus says what the Pharisees had done is to expand that, to say, well, really, just a certificate is what's important. Any reason at all you might have for wanting to divorce your spouse? That's fine. Just so long as you submit the correct paperwork. It's an unlawful expansion of what the law taught. Well, here we are coming to another unlawful expansion of what the law taught. You see, when we look at the law for an eye for an eye, Jesus is reminding us that there was a very specific scope, a very specific scope for the eye, for an eye, a law of retaliation. Namely, the scope was for public justice. This was a law for public justice. The idea was if you put out the eye of my friend and I'm angry about that and I want justice. I see that, in fact, the retaliation is administered in public by the civil magistrate who is charged with keeping the peace, keeping justice, administers the same kind of punishment to the one who has done this to my friend. That should, I may still be angry about it, but that should settle my desire for wanting to seek justice privately. It limits vengeance. I see that justice has been done and I don't have to do anything. Furthermore, this limits the kind of punishments that could happen if you were the one accused of a crime. If you stole a loaf of bread, you could not have your hand chopped off. If you put out someone's eye, you could not be put to death for it. There was a limitation on how far justice could go, and that was utterly honest. An eye for an eye. Which means that sometimes you may see the bumper sticker or something that says an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind. Understand, that's absolutely not what eye for an eye taught. It was putting a strict limitation on the public justice that could be administered. That misunderstands the whole point of the law. The Pharisees misunderstood the law in another way. They were trying to expand the scope of eye for an eye out of the public sphere, the public sector of justice. They were trying to expand this to even our private lives, that if you do this to me, I get to do that to you. You aggrieve me in some way, you hurt me in some way, I get to bring that right back to you. Eye for an eye, there it is in the Bible. What Jesus is pointing out, and he's drawing on the whole of the Old Testament law, is that private vengeance, private vendettas were, in fact strictly forbidden by the law. You may know that the second commandment, when Jesus says, "The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. The second is like it, you should love your neighbor as yourself." You may know that comes the second commandment, loving your neighbor as yourself comes from Leviticus 19:18. That's only the second half of the verse. The first half of the verse says this, "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself." It was forbidden explicitly in the law to take out these private tit for tats, eye for eye, going to get my pound of flesh retaliation against other people in your private matters. Now, if someone actually causes severe, significant bodily harm, well, the public courts could administer that justice, but you are forbidden from kind of pursuing your own private individual justice. So to oppose this unlawful expansion of the law. Jesus said in verse 39, says something that's very hard. He says, "But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." How do we interpret this? This is such a hard word. Now, in all of this, we have to keep in mind something that Jesus said at the very beginning of his teaching on the law back in verse 17 that started this section. Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them." Jesus is not saying, Oh, that eye for and eye thing, that was terrible, you should have never been doing that, put that away. He's not saying that at all. He came to fulfill the law, not to abolish the law. So however we understand what Jesus is saying in verse 39, we have to understand He is not criticizing the law. He is criticizing the wrong interpretation of the law, namely that unlawful expansion of the law to our private lives. So if we understand this, the law of retaliation was for public justice, then the first principle we see is that Jesus is not talking about, again, those public justice matters. He's teaching privately, how do I respond when I am hurt, when I am aggrieved, when I am wronged in some way? What's the private, internal, spiritual response that rises up in me? The second principle we need to see is that even in our private lives, our private matters, we need to understand that Jesus is not talking about saying that self-defense, lawful self-defense, is somehow wrong. Because even the law acknowledged necessary defense. It is a lawful thing to defend your life or the life of others. We see this in Westminster Larger Catechism 136, necessary defense is not prohibited by the law, but it's actually encouraged by the Sixth Commandment to take the lives of others seriously. To take the Sixth Commandment against murder seriously is to protect your own life and the life of others. So in Exodus 22:2, the law explicitly stated that if a thief breaks into your house and that thief dies as you are protecting yourself and your family, that's not murder. In fact, there is a duty to defend yourself and your family in such a situation. It's not murder, it's actually a duty commanded to defend yourself and the life of others. So that's the second principle. Jesus isn't talking here about self-defense so much, against bodily harm to you or to someone else. So what then does he mean when he talks about if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also? Well, you have to really understand what Jesus is saying, and he's talking about being struck on the right cheek. If your right hand and most people are if you swing like this to try to maximize the pain that you would cause to somebody or punch somebody with your right hand, you're going to strike that person on the left side. Destruction one in the right side, you would have to actually back-handedly slap that person. That's important because a backhanded slap is not calculated so much to inflict bodily injury as it is to give someone a severe insult. The rabbi has talked extensively about the greater insult that this would be in the particular damages that you could sue for if someone gave you this kind of a backhanded, very shame inducing, kind of a slap. So what Jesus is talking about is saying when someone, not so much talking about injuries, he is talking about insults. When someone insults you, how do you respond? Jesus says the fullness of the law requires you in your own private dealings, in the ways that someone insults you. You were required to respond with such great peace that you're ready to turn the other cheek and be slapped there as well. Now, how do we understand this? What's he getting at? Well, to understand what Jesus is talking about, we have to recover the biblical teaching of the passions of our souls. This is something that older Christians talked about a lot. This has been largely forgotten in the last couple of hundred years. We don't talk often about the passions of the soul, but it's a very biblical concept. Now, often when we think about passion, we still use the word, we usually use it in the realm of sexual desire. Put that idea out of your mind. There are places where passion refers to that kind of a thing, but not in the way that we think about it. Here's the biblical definition of the passions of the soul, "The passions of the soul are reactions to the world around us that are characterized by spiritual suffering." When the Bible talks about the passions of our soul, these are reactions to the world around us that are characterized by spiritual suffering. Not primarily bodily suffering, although that can induce sort of these passions to rise up in us. But the passions of the soul are reactions as we evaluate the world around us that are characterized by spiritual suffering. So when we look at the world around us, when the world inflicts itself upon us, what then arises in us, these passions where we want justice. We may want money, we may want peace, we may want sex, we may want power, we may want love. Because we don't have the things that we want, especially the things that we sinfully want, we suffer. These things that rise in us are called the passions of the soul. Now we see this, for example, in Romans 1:26, we read about the dishonorable passions of homosexual sexual desires. Then in 1 Thessalonians 4:5, we talk about the talks about the passions of lust, just general lust. These are passions arriving arising in our soul. Then in Colossians 3:5, the word for passions appears in a list of different desires rising up in our heart, impure evil desires. Some of them are sexual, but some of them involve desires like greed or covetousness. Probably the clearest place where we see the Bible defined passions, and this is where I'm getting my definition, is James 4:1-2, where James says, "What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and you quarrel." There's this war of our passions inside of us that are constantly raging, seething, desiring. When we don't have that, we are experiencing intense spiritual suffering that is constantly leading us to lash out, to try to correct and react to the suffering in our hearts. That's what Jesus is talking about. If you were dealt this blow, this blow not so much to your body as to your ego, what arises in you? Is not that blood comes spurting out from this, it's that your heart rages up in desire to want to get an eye for an eye. How am I going to get back at this person who has done this to me? Now, what we need to be very clear about is that the Bible also teaches, by contrast, that God does not have passions. God is without passions. The Westminster Confession of Faith two paragraph one says, "God is without body parts or passions." We get that directly from the Bible and Acts 14:15, the ESV, when Paul and Barnabas are in Lystra and they're ministering and performing miracles, the people begin to think and Lystra that Paul and Barnabas are gods. So they start sacrificing to them. And, and Paul and Barnabas says, No, no, no, don't do this. The ESV has, "We are men of like nature with you", but very literally that we are men of like passions with you. In other words, you know that we're humans because we share the same kind of passions in you, this spiritual suffering. But if we were gods, the implication is then we wouldn't have that God is without passions. Christ, however, you've probably heard of the idea of the Passion of Christ. Christ had a passion. He suffered. Why? Well, because he took a human nature upon himself, precisely so that he could suffer. Now most of the passions that are seething and raging and our soul trying to get whatever we can, most of our passions are sinful passions. They're corrupted by sin that's always wanting, always greedy, always grabbing after something and is angry whenever we don't get what we want, especially justice like what Jesus is talking about in this passage. But Christ, when he experienced his passions, he did so innocently. So, for example, we read about Christ's passion at his temptation. That Christ suffered when he was tempted. When we experience temptation, our hearts are enticed by the passions that are lurching and desiring whatever we're tempted by, but Christ only experienced temptation as suffering. As suffering for the weight of what He had to undergo in human flesh. Then particularly, this word arises to talk about the suffering of Christ at the cross. There the suffering of Christ was not so much bodily suffering as much as bodily suffering He did experience. The passion of Christ primarily refers to the spiritual suffering of Christ's anguish as he bore up under the weight of God's wrath. God is without passions. Christ had passions because he took a human nature to suffer under these things and yet he suffered innocently. But the passions of our soul are raging and seething and lusting and desiring toward what we cannot have and we're angry about it. So when we're humiliated, when we're afraid, when we're hurt, when we're betrayed, when we're envious, when we're sad, when we're lonely, when we're anxious, when we are ashamed. This passion of anger rises in us and wants to get even. I want an eye for an eye. I want to do to you what you have done to me. I want you to suffer in the way that I am suffering according to this. You may think about the way that we sometimes describe crimes that are committed in the heat of this kind of anger, a crime of passion. There's that older sense of the word. It's not something that's premeditated, it's something that happens on the spur of the moment, because these passions that react according to the suffering of our souls. Understand God doesn't respond to us that way. God doesn't have a temper. In Exodus 34:6, we read that God is, "Slow to anger and abounding and steadfast love." Again, God's temper isn't just lashing out at us when he has a bad day. That never happens with God. He faces infinite insult from us. Certainly, we can't injure God. We can't injure God. But we do hurdle all kinds of insults at Him and God bears up under all of this. But he doesn't suffer it. We read, in fact, in Malachi 3:6, and this is essential for our ongoing existence, "The Lord says, 'For I, the Lord do not change, therefore, you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed." Because God is the eternally existing one. He is self-existent, he is self-sustaining. He possesses all things. There is nothing that he lacks. He does not change. Therefore, God doesn't react from his suffering in the way do we do to try to get even. When God's wrath comes. It comes as perfect, pure, and exact justice. Not because God flies off the handle or loses his temper. God, however, while he doesn't have passions, theologians talk about what God does instead. The Bible is filled with words and phrases that describe to us the feelings that God has. God certainly has feelings, but not the feelings that come from the passions, from some suffering in his soul that he's trying to correct. God doesn't have that. God's feelings come from His affections. Affections are very different than passions. The affections arise as not a reaction, but a proactive, deliberate, conscious choice of the will to set your love on something. It's not like a child grasping at something I want and can't have. It's God setting his love on his people from before the foundation of the earth, according to his wisdom, according to his knowledge, according to his goodness, according to his kindness. For his own glory, God proactively sets his affections on us so that whenever He bears up under insults, it's always his affections. It's always the love that he has extended toward us in Christ Jesus that is what spills out onto His people. God is patient and caring toward us, even when we sin. Even for those who reject God, God's patience comes and giving them extended time. His kindness and patience is meant to lead people to repentance. God takes all our abuse and yet continues to love us and to show us His kindness. Jesus says, this is how we must act. The law requires that in our private dealings, we're not just simply reacting. We're not just simply letting it all hang out and telling you exactly what's on my mind. Rather dealing so kindly and patiently with one another. So that even when someone gives us this backhanded, shame inducing slap, our hearts are so guided by our affections and love for one another, so we're just ready to turn the other cheek. We're ready to go again because I love you so much. That's the way that God responds to us. Now, I've said a lot about theology, a lot about what the Bible text says about the ways in which our souls operate and how God's souls operate. Let me boil this down to an illustration, I think a fairly simple illustration to understand. I'm a parent. We've had a lot of little children in our home, especially little babies. One of the things I didn't know about little babies is that their fingernails grow, too. So you're holding this tiny, cute, adorable little baby, and they just reach up and just smile at you as they rake your face. Now, when that happens and these are just sharp to beat the band, right? When that happens and they just slash you, you have sort of two emotions as a parent. I mean, like if someone else had done this, oh, man, you're ready to go. Let's roll. Let's rumble. Right? This is a little child whom your affections are set on. So you recognize I can't fly off the handle at this baby. This baby has no idea what's just happened. Now I once saw this, I saw video of this. I saw an older father dealing with his grown son. A grown son who had severe mental and physical disabilities. So much so that when the son became excited about something, he would become fairly physically aggressive with his father. Not just a baby that you can sort of control where they put their hands, but a grown child where it was actually fairly difficult to do this, a grown man. As I saw this video of this father interacting with the son whom clearly, he had had a thousand such interactions over the course of this child's life, his son's life. I saw the father stop his son from hurting him, stop his son from hitting him. But you could see on his face there wasn't a trace of anger. There wasn't a trace of, how dare you? There wasn't a trace of, I'm going to show you. His eyes were locked on his son with perfect love. With perfect, dispassionate suffering. He loved his son, his affections were poured on his son, and he kept dealing with his son according to his love. This is what the Bible requires of us. So to summarize this, when we suffer physically or spiritually, the law requires that we not respond from our passions, from that anger that rises up to say, I want to get even. Our actions and even our attitudes must be guided not by the raging passions inside of us, but by our deliberate conscious, shaped according to the Word of the Lord, affections. Affections where God trains us to respond to others as He responds to us. So our Larger Catechism Question 135 says that the sixth commandment against murder requires us to subdue all passions. In 136 Larger Catechism Question 136 we read that one of the things that the Sixth Commandment forbids is all excessive passions. Again, older Christians talk this way. We need to recover this teaching of what's happening in our soul, how to account for those feelings. Affectionate Love So Jesus, to make it plain, gives us three more applications. We'll go through these fairly quickly, in the second section of Affectionate Love. What does it look like for our affections to subdue our passions? Again, affectionate love, we're not talking about someone being cuddly. We're talking about these affections, subduing our excessive passions so that it's not our passions lashing out. It's rather our actions are guided by our affections, deliberate according to what God does toward us. So verse 40, Jesus says, "And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well." Now, Jesus is not teaching us to enable all evil behavior. He's not teaching us to encourage theft and extortion. It is not loving to give a con artist everything that he asks for. Rather, Jesus is driving at the disposition of your heart. So often when we have people who are needy, our tendency is to withdraw, to get a little bit farther away, to see them on the other side of the room and go to the other side, not wanting to be caught in a situation. Jesus says, your heart always shaped by this affection for the other person, where you are ready to continue to give and to give and to give. Not unwisely, but to give to meet needs. Verse 41, Jesus gives us another illustration, "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." The Romans could requisition people to do this kind of thing. The same language shows up at the cross when Simon of Cyrene is requisitioned, compelled to carry Jesus's cross. Now, none of us like to be requisitioned. We don't like to be bossed around. Simon probably didn't want to carry Jesus's cross. We don't want to be drafted into the military. We don't want to be drafted into jury duty. We don't want to be drafted for anything. But Jesus says that when we are drafted, our hearts should not be begrudging and hard. We should be ready to serve with attitudes that accompany that. Verse 42, Jesus goes on and says, "Give to the one who begs from you and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you." Again, the heart is the main target. There are times when helping hurts. Giving to people who are con artists, that's not always a good thing. We want to help people in the fullest sense of this and not just in superficial ways that actually hurt. What Jesus is saying, is we are called to be generous, not foolish, but generous in all the ways that we give. The question is, what is the disposition of my heart when someone asks for something? As a parent, it is right for me to withhold something from my children that would harm them. Dad, can I have a loaded gun? Absolutely not. It is wrong, however, that if my children ask for bread, I would give them a stone instead. Even if I've had a bad day, even if I've had it up to here with them, it's wrong for me to give them a stone. A good father gives his bread to his children. It was right, for example, when Moses railed at the Israelites when they had sinned with the golden calf. Because you can see his heart immediately after interceding with God that if you will not go among us, Lord, blot me out of your name of the book of life. That's the heart that hates sin, but loves the sinner. It was wrong, however, when Moses railed at the Israelites when they were thirsty, even though they had grumbled at him, even though he'd had it up to here with them, even though I personally have sinned a thousand times in the same way, it was wrong for Moses and it's wrong for me. You know, as a child. I remember going to a pancake restaurant. I remember going to a pancake restaurant with my grandparents. And I remember I ate too many pancakes as children do. And I remember I threw up right there in the dining area, right in the middle of all these people. Even as a child, I knew that the waitress now had a horrible task. Even as a child, I remember thinking, oh, I don't know how much she's paid, but it can't be enough to clean up the horror of what I've just done. I've ruined her night. I remember being afraid of this. To this day I remember her kindness. She didn't see that me. She very kindly and gently said, it's all right. I'll take care of it. Now, I don't know that I totally understood this until as a parent, when you deal with this sort of thing. we have a son who threw up just last night. That's why not all of our family can be here today, sadly. But right after this, my son kept saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm terribly sorry, I'm terribly sorry", which I don't know if he's British or what, but I'm terribly sorry. It was really funny how he phrased it. My wife and I, as much as we're like, oh, this is disgusting and we have to clean this up now, both of us are like, don't worry, don't be apologizing. You're sick, we want to help you. That's the kind of thing that God is requiring. That even when someone hurts us, even when someone puts us in a bad situation, it's a heart that's not seeking to get revenge. It's a heart that loves and seeks to do right and to be gentle with the other person. Application You know, as we consider this text or application throughout the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus continues to shine his pure light into the darkest, yet most hidden corners of our heart. No one can see as my passions rage inside me but God. So Jesus takes his word and shines it into my heart, he continues to do so here. Who among us has not felt rage over insults that cut far deeper than the actual injuries we receive? How could we possibly redouble affection for those who have insulted us in such deep ways? Where's the justice in turning the other cheek? At every turn in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has led us to despair over our sin. Not so that we despair altogether. Jesus wants us to see how impossible it is in our own sinful selfish hearts to do what God demands so that we will be driven, because we have nowhere else to go, but to the foot of the cross. Because who can control the corrupt motions of our hearts? I can't. You can't. But Jesus can. The Holy Spirit can. Christ promises forgiveness and righteousness to those who repent from their sins. Even when I can't fix it, but to turn from this and look to the Lord and ask for him to save me. Once again, as we deal with this text, throughout the Sermon on the Mountain, I tried to show that Jesus is not just teaching here things for us to do. He is showing us a part of what he has come to do. Jesus came to suffer for sinners. Jesus is indeed the one who turns the other cheek. Isaiah 50:6 says, "I gave my back to those who strike and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard. I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting." In Isaiah 53:7, we read, "He (Jesus) was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth like a lamb that has led to the slaughter and like a sheep that before it shears, is silent, so he opened, not his mouth." Then in the New Testament as Peter is reflecting on this, both on what Jesus has done and how we should respond. He writes this in 1 Peter 2:19-25, where the word passion shows up four times to talk about how we should suffer. It's the word suffer. Peter writes, For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1 Peter 2:19-25, ESV Who can forgive our sins of passion and our outbursts of retaliation? Who can cleanse our hearts from the corruption of sin that stirs and seethes and boils and rages in response to our suffering? Only the Lord Jesus Christ, only the one who perfectly obeyed with perfect love and perfect peace toward those who hurt him. Even praying, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do, as the Roman soldiers were nailing him to the cross. He did this, offering himself as the perfect sacrifice for you and for me. To forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from deep within. As we've talked about, this gives us clarity in our day to day strategy for mortifying, putting to death our sin. When you feel these passions rise up in you turn to Jesus, say, Jesus, there's that anger, there's that lust, there's that corruption of wanting whatever it is that I want and can't have. I hate it. Lord, I hate it. I turn from it. I ask you to forgive me and to cleanse me. Give me a right spirit, Father. I pray. Tell them all this, pray this. Stop where you are and pray right then and turn from the sin that's raging in your heart before it spills out to cause even more suffering. We will never rid ourselves of this corruption in this life. We are certainly waiting for the life to come when we will be perfectly glorified and rid of this corruption. But God does promise real forgiveness now. More than this, God promises real growth, real cleansing, real sanctification. To transform us into people who are increasingly conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, who did not revile in return, did not threaten, but instead continue to trust himself to the one who judges justly. That's the image of our Savior, and that's what God commands for us. There's no hope outside this gospel. There's no hope outside the fact that Jesus came to suffer for sinners. Look to him and be saved. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we pray that you would give us Christ. That you would cleanse us from the inside out by the blood of Jesus, applied to us by your Holy Spirit, sent from Heaven. To cleanse the corruptions of our soul. To forgive us from our sins. To make us increasingly more like Christ. Oh, we pray, conform us to Christ image until the day when He comes and we shall be like Him, for we shall see him as he is in all of His splendor and glory. It's in Christ name we pray. Amen.

Exploring the concept of "spiritual fidelity" in light of justice.

In this latest episode we invite a listener into the studio to debate a topic they asked us to debate. We engage in the Great Death Penalty debate with Scruffy Gomez a loyal show listener. We look at the pros and cons of the death penalty and try to answer the question of its viability as a form of punishment. So grab a drink, sit back and relax, and join us in another spirited debate.

Fundado por Luciano e Vinícius em 2010, o Rocking Riders é um quarteto de Contagem/Belo Horizonte formado por Luciano Roberto (Guitarra & Vocal), Vinícius Santos (Guitarra), Douglas Leal (Bateria) e Junio Wolf (Baixo e Pedais Sintetizadores). Eles apresentam um som pesado e direto, influenciados por bandas de vários subgêneros do Rock e Metal, características do Heavy Rock tocado pelo Rocking Riders. As letras abordam temas como guerras, fatos históricos, problemas políticos e/ou de ordem social, ganância e a maldade humanas e, é claro, tópicos falando de Rock 'n Roll. Em 2013, Rocking Riders conquistou o primeiro lugar geral - Júri Técnico e Popular - do Festival de Música Independente "Garagem Festival" de Belo Horizonte daquele ano. O lançamento do álbum autoral de estreia intitulado Rock In The Night, apresentando dez faixas, aconteceu em julho de 2015. No mesmo ano, em setembro, o vídeo clip oficial da música Viper foi lançado. Em novembro de 2017, o Rocking Riders gravou uma demo ao vivo com duas músicas novas: Void In Life-Thy Mistake e Lex Talionis. Oito meses após a gravação da “live demo”, em julho de 2018, eles lançam o webclip da música Void In Life-Thy Mistake. Gaiseric é o mais novo vídeo clip do Rocking Riders, lançado em março de 2020. Rocking Riders tem tocado com grandes bandas do underground de Minas Gerais. Eles já dividiram palco com bandas de renome nacional e internacional como o Scalped, banda de Death Metal do nosso estado, Pesta, quinteto Doom Metal também de Minas Gerais, Nervosa, quarteto de Thrash Metal de São Paulo e com o Ambush, banda Heavy Metal da Suécia. Dessa forma, os quatro integrantes têm o mesmo foco: tocar suas próprias canções na forma de um Rock 'n Roll sincero e com a atitude marcante dos grandes clássicos do gênero.

Quem nunca ouviu a expressão “Olho por olho, dente por dente”? mais conhecida como lei de Talião. Talião, originário do latim “Lex Talionis”, que significa lei de tal tipo, condizendo com a ação na devida proporção da agressão. A justa reciprocidade do crime e da pena. Mas vamos passar para o que nós da sociedade contemporânea queremos dizer quando citamos a tal Lei. Geralmente falamos juntos com outra expressão também conhecida: Aqui se faz aqui se paga! Não quero neste momento abrir discussão sobre se pagar por um crime, cumprir pena, ser condenado... Se errou, se burlou ou quebrou a lei, deve pagar de acordo com a lei de cada país. O que quero destacar é que muitas pessoas guardam por anos em sua bagagem o mal que alguém lhe fez, uma traição, o abandono, a injustiça... guardam esperando um dia dar o troco, afinal, “A vingança é um prato que se come... frio”, alguns afirmam. Guardam aquela lembrança ruim em lugar de mais estima que as boas lembranças da vida. Tem aqueles que até planejam como darão o troco... levam o seu ofensor o tempo todo na mente e no coração. Isso é um veneno para sua alma. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nazarenootacilio/message

Jesus Doesn't Make It Easy – ‘Proper Payback'  You punch me, so I punch you back. In the Bible, it's called the lex talionis or the law of retaliation. Of course, one of the problems is that, if you punch me, I don't want to just punch you back; I want to punch you back just a bit harder than you punched me. Rather than revenge, how do we move to reconciliation? Jesus' teaching about proper payback was meant to stretch us. This week's #WholeLifeTakeAways:  What do you think about the Lex Talionis – an eye for an eye, etc? How could that law make things better or make things worse? Who have you wanted to “get back” with retaliation or revenge? What kind of insult is the most difficult to let go of for you? How easy is it for you to insult back? How guarded are you about making sure you get your rights? Which of your rights seems to be in the most danger of losing? When has someone gone the extra mile for you? How did that feel?   How is being less than generous with the need a way of revenge or retaliation? Which is hardest for you: insults, rights, extra mile, giving? What are steps you plan to take to let Christ take over your life more so yours is a not I but Christ life?  Which of these takeaways resonated with you this week? We would love to hear you feedback and you can reach us at any of the methods below: ■ Text/Voicemail:  407-965-1607 ■ Email:  podcast@wholelife.church ■ WLC Mobile App:  Media Tab/Podcast Banner and Use Text and Email links ■ Social Media:  #WholeLifePodcast/ #WholeLifeTakeAways Listen and subscribe to :15 With Andy, Randy, & Jeff by going to our website: https://wholelife.church/podcast (https://wholelife.church/podcast)! You can listen, subscribe, and share the episode, all from our podcast player or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Cork writer Liam Heylin has an ear for dialogue and a nose for a good story. Both are born out in his writing as a journalist and in his works for the stage. Lex Talionis explores relationships, animosities, competitive spirits and a sense of self - through the characters of 4 principal birds. Katrina Foley is the director of this work which garnered praise in Cork and Dublin at various festivals before it became part of the Everyman Theatre's "Play it By Ear" online series of radio dramas.

Today we look at one of the most misunderstood sections in the sermon on the mount. What does it mean to “turn the other cheek?”

Few words in the Bible have provoked as much anger and debate as these: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The Lex Talionis. The Law of Retribution. Atheists claim it proves the Bible contains internal contradictions. Gandhi said it would leave the whole world blind. For the Pharisees, it was a loophole allowing them to serve up cold-hearted revenge. Jesus acknowledges that many have weighed in on these much-debated words. And once again, as his sermon crescendos, he repeats, "but I say to you," this Sunday at Mendham Hills.

What can we learn from the seemingly outdated commands in Exodus about stolen sheep and oxen? In this sermon, learn how God’s law teaches us about his just character by revealing how rescue and redemption triumph over punishment and revenge.

Part 2 of S03 Episode 2: Lex Talionis (Warning: contains scenes of a distressing nature). A 2014 study concluded that over 4% of people sentenced to death in the United States of America, have been convicted for crimes they did not commit; Some might consider this little more than an unfortunate consequence of en essential system. Others however, might think twice given how often support for capital punishment stems largely from that old maxim of an eye for an eye. After all, as some might say, just because those innocent people are now dead, it doesn’t mean they won’t still be seeking retribution... Lex Talionis tells the strange and tragic story of Johnny Frank Garrett, who some believe was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. Others, think he may have had his revenge too.

In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus calls us to behave counter culturally in surprising and unconventional ways as we look at turning the other cheek in a new light. A message by David Toscano

"An Eye For An Eye and The Image of God." That's the title of today's episode, which has Genesis 9:5-7 as its main text. In this short passage, we have a short Latin lesson, we talk about the Law of Retribution, the Image of God, murder, Capital Punishment, Suicide, Abortion, and what it means to be Born Again... WOW! All that from just three verses? Come find out!

An eye for an eye might sound like brutal retribution but its roots were in encouraging a sense of proportion. Narrated by Stephen Fry.

Sermon Matthew 5:38-42 January 25, 2015

This is the extended cut of an interview that originally ran on the Women's Outlook show on Ujima radio. Rhonda is a writer from Trinidad, and her debut novel, Lex Talionis, is available from Dragonwell Publishing and the usual retail outlets. The interview covers the book, Rhonda's journey to becoming published, and a little bit about life in Trinidad. As usual the interviewer is Cheryl Morgan.

In the Old Testament God steps in and gives His people a command that is supposed to put check into how far they are allowed to go in retribution. He tells them An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, meaning the punishment should not exceed the offense...but as always, Jesus takes it deeper, beyond the law.
