Many teachings of the Bible are misunderstood by people who cannot see that God is love.
The concept of an eye for an eye and a life for a life was always used by desert sheikhs to de-escalate family feuds. You can't win by slaughtering your opponents, you will just wind up with a higher blood debt to pay. On the other hand, every one of your casualties cancels out one of theirs. Better to sit down and talk as soon as blood is shed.
Eternal punishment is also misunderstood. Eventually, all will repent and be saved. God has all the time in the world for you to come around and quit punishing yourself.
