Anyone can 'benefit' from bible principles, you just have to find the right one to support your belief.
What perhaps we should be asking is - is this ethical ?
Should we believe in "an eye for an eye", or " rejoice when we see vengence"?
Too many quotes in the bible contradict one another. I feel it is confusing and can be ill used to justify ill actions.

@OogieBoogie When you understand the reasons and principles behind the quotes you mentioned in your reply, you will see why such actions in the Bible were needed. Those quotes were taken from the Mosaic Law. When Jesus came along, he "edited" so to speak Deuteronomy 19:21 when he said the words at Matthew 5:38-48. Please read those verses in your spare time.

@seotelkniwt Thankyou, but ive moved on from traditional Christianity now. Its served its purpose in my life, and im grateful for that, but ....its not... enough ? Some how🤷♀️
I feel there is an inate disparity between God of the OT, and Jesus of the NT, and that there is a huge chunk of history or truth missing, that would redefine what we currently know.
And i think echos of that truth can be found in other places such as ancient texts, other religions amd places that God left his mark for mankind.
