Subject: what about the mark of the beast??? |
Bible Note: Don't take Matthew 5:30 out of context. The number of the beast on the hand or forehead is a future event and used to identify ones allegiance to the anti-christ. Christ, when speaking of cutting off your hand was speaking toward our present life, our Christian life, and was speaking figuratively, Christ would not condone self-mutilation, that is what the pagans do. Christ was simply telling us that we must do all we can to eliminate that which causes us to sin. Remove it from our self, or remove our self from it. It sounds extreme when stated like He stated it but we must take it in its harshness and realize how serious sin is. We must do all we can, within our good conscience, to eliminate that which causes us eternal death, sin. WOS |
