There’s no evidence that Jesus supported those things. And as Jewish people have seemingly always understood but became lost on many Christians at some point, the Biblical laws were always intended to be adapted and improved over time, with a focus on justice and love. This is why Jesus said that the most important law is to love God and love your neighbor.
It’s also why he had no problem with arguing_*against_* laws such as “an eye for an eye.” Taking the laws literal in modern day would be barbaric and horrible, but it’s also not what the authors ever intended. The laws in the Old Testament were significantly better than the laws of the people around them, but still very flawed. They believed that God wanted us to listen to him as we improved our laws over time to make a more loving society.
