RE: an eye for an eye, where do you stand?
The historical Protestant view is that it means the government is mandated to punish evildoers. It is by no means a mandate for personal revenge, which is forbidden by the same Scriptures. However, it has no bearing upon self-defence, as it refers to an accomplished and unpunished act of badness against an innocent defenceless party.
