Bible Question: What would happen if we took the Sermon on the Mount Literally? |
Bible Answer: Dear SAKII, A couple of things would happen, lets see; 1)Verses 5:1-12 - humbleness and perseverance through persecution would be the result. 2)Verses 5:13-20 - remaining unstained by the world and being a light to the world would be the result. 3)Verses 5:21-48 - godly behavior would be the result. 4)Verses 6:1-15 - caring for Jesus in the form of others would be the result. 5)Verses 6:16-24 - being concerned with the internal as opposed to the external would be the result. 6)Verses 6:25-34 - focusing on seeking the kingdom instead of worrying about worldly needs would be the result. 7)Verses 7:1-28 - good moral conduct and focusing on being able to enter life would be the result. Does that answer the question? What here do you think you should not be taking literaly as a Christian I am definetely wondering? The part about suffering perhaps? I Peter 2:21-23 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any sin found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept on entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously. Are you serious about whether or not one should be taking it literaly? Or was this a fishing expedition? Not judging. God Bless Tamara |
