Have you ever plucked out your own eye, or cut off your own arm?

Question

If not, why not? Doesn't Jesus say that it's better to do either of those things than burn forever?

Answer 1

Another non Christian.
If you knew the Word you would never write this tripe.
Jesus was speaking of the Body of Christ that all Christians are a part of.
This means that if someone like you enters in among the believers and brings up a different doctrine it is our responsibility to eject them least they pollute the rest of us.
Cut it off. Pluck it out. Run it over. Step on it. and like wise.><>

Answer 2

2 Peter 3:3,4, For you know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as from creations beginning." Your fulfilling Bible prophesy you know. Isaiah 28:22 And now do not show yourselves scoffers, in order that your bands may not grow strong, for there is an extermination, even something decided upon, that I have heard of from the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, for all the land.

Answer 3

I don't really think there's any benefit to doing that. Only losses, painful one(literally).
Besides, is it really true that you have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven?
What was the case before he was born?
When Jesus was a little kid(I don't think anyone would listen to little kids)?

I'm not too confident whether or not heaven or hell exists. If it doesn't, well, that means I did that for nothing, and that would suck big time.

Answer 4

eh? why would i cut off my arm or take out my eye? Why cant i not do those things and not burn forever either? In order to not burn forever do we have to cut off our arm or pluck our eye out? what the phuck are you talking about?

Answer 5

Fortunately, there's a better way to overcome sin.
Jesus Christ took my sin nature upon Himself, and put it to death upon the cross, so that I having died to sin might live by His resurrection life.
That's real Christianity.
It has nothing to do with rituals and laws.
You must be born again.

Answer 6

Not yet. But if I ever have a reason to do so, then I would hope I pray and am delivered from that sin!*
I hope that in a round about way answers your question!

Answer 7

Jesus also says to forgive someone 490 times. You have about 489 to go from me, but don't hold your breath.

Answer 8

Jesus sayz that if our arm has sinned. But I have asked forgiveness from Jesus and He has forgived me thro His blood! Now, am happy as I can be.

Answer 9

Has your master ever given you talens? It is a medaphor, meaning to do what ever it takes to restain from what is evil in the eyes of God. Like mocking.
