Hello flyman Thank you for the responce you have given to me. Ok - - - You say you want to have litteral translation. Matthew 5:29 29--- And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 5:30 30--- And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 18:8 8--- Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. Matthew 18:9 9--- And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Mark 9:43-48 43--- And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44--- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45--- And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46--- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47--- And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48--- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. So litterally speaking you might be in for a hard time in this life we call Christianity. The sacrptures I have used are the same quotations by different authors in the different Gospels. As you havebecause. Doesn't that prove the context, the commands, the message even more so? When all the Gospel authors reveal the same teachings of Jesus, it emphatically drives home the point, does it not? God Bless you in His Love KcabmI4 |

Hello Kcabm14, God bless you too! Unfortunately your argument doesn't work because there is a built-in qualification that gives everyone an out with this particular message. IF thy hand, IF thy eye, IF the foot... There isn't anyone with a brain who will admit his eye, his foot or his hand was responsible for an offense. With regards to the passages I quoted, there is no built-in "wiggle out" word. Jesus is clear, "He who does not love Me does not keep My words;..." John 14:24. Jesus said do not be afraid, sell your possessions and give to the poor, store your treasure in heaven that your heart be there as well, Luke 12:32-33. "And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:27 "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:33 Kcabm14, I know these are difficult passages but we can't just pretend they don't exist can we? flyman |
