Vengeance is arguably the number one trait of our times. It lives on all sides of the aisle, among old, young and rich and poor.
And it is antithetical to Christianity. But why?
This episode digs deeper into “ekdikesis” (ἐκδίκησις meaning ‘vengeance’) in Romans 12:19.
Romans 12:19 - “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord.” (NIV)

“You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.” (Ps. 31:8 - NIV)
The phrase “in a spacious place” is the Hebrew word: bammerhab.
