Bible Question:
Matthew 5:29-30 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. How is this meant to be taken? |
Bible Answer: Hi, newbeliever... The Christian life is characterized by a willingness to radically deny sin. There is no compromise.
