Vengeance In The Bible: Whose Job Is It Anyway?

There are a number of questions below I would like you to consider from a biblical perspective with practical suggestions for today's society. Many people are frightened, hurt and angry. This, unfortunately, includes Christians. They are buying guns and even joined the NRA.
1. Is there ever a time for a Christian to "get even?" If so, when and how?
2. Doesn't the Bible teaches "an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth?"
3. Should Christians let people walk all over them?
4. What about examples in the Bible when God directed a people to slay another group? Isn't that revenge?
5. Is there a difference of vengeance in the OT and the NT?
6. Is there a difference in reflexive response and vengeance?
7. In a world of crime, hurt and bullying, how do people in general and Christians in particular, respond to a deep hurt or loss?
