"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. 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 5:29-30
Is he really telling people to cut off their hands and pluck out their eyes? Was Jesus talking literally or was it a metaphor? If its a metaphor....a metaphor for what?
