Matthew 5:29 "If your right eye makes you stumble and leads you to sin, tear it out and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. |

| Bible Question: There was a thread a couple weeks a ago about the flesh and sin. Is this passage (vv 29-30) related to the effect of the flesh on sin? Explain. |

Bible Answer: Matt 5:28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matt 5:29 "If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matt 5:30 "If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. Dear Steve, I asked the question, and thanks for taking the time to post this passage. It does not imply, however, that our mortal body influences us to sin. It is in deed a brilliant use of language by our Lord, however. As the context shows, it's the inner man, not his body, that the Lord is dealing with, the evil desires of ours hearts to lust (the eye) and to take (the hand) what is not ours to want or to have. Thanks again. Peace, Lionstrong |
