So eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, means that everything you do to others will happand to you. If you call someone devil, you will be called devil, if you rob someone you will be robbed, if you shed blood your blood must be shed.

The golden rule follows
Everything you want others to do for you you do unto others. If you want someone to clean your floors you clean his or her floors. If you want to be snatch out from the fire you snatch others out of the fire.
That's the law and the prophets.

That is not what "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" means (also known as lex taliones or the law of proportion. The intention is rather to restrain ourselves in seeking justice -- to take "no more than an eye for an eye" and "no more than a tooth for a tooth." It certainly is not predictive of what will happen to you if you do something, as you seem to suggest.

Again, you don't seem to have much understanding of the golden rule (which has many slight variations). But in essence, what you suggest is silly, and here's an example: if I want a surgeon to repair my hernia, I should first operate on his. Really?!?!

At its heart, the golden rule tells us to remember that others should be given the same consideration we would demand for ourselves. If we would not like to be treated unjustly, we should not treat others unjustly. (And yet, we may do exactly that, and still get away with it scot free -- happens all the time, unfortunately.)
 
Did I misread your post or are you perverting the justice for your diciples?

Psalm 82.
A Plea for Justice
A Psalm of Asaph.
82 God stands in the congregation of the mighty;
He judges among the gods.a]'>[a]
2 How long will you judge unjustly,
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are unstable.

6 I said, “You are gods,b]'>[b]
And all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
For You shall inherit all nations.

The Golden Rule is a good teaching...you do realise that although it is in the Bible, it was copied from earlier texts. It was first noted in Egyptian texts of about 2000BC. "Now this is the command: Do to the doer to make him do."
