I don’t believe Jesus intended for us to cut off our hands, pluck out our eyes or allow ourselves to be beaten to deathAnd you said the same for the Old. That's why I was saying that about you.
I explained that my pastors exegenesis led me to an understanding that makes sense for me.
Funny you mention that verse. My father has a schizophrenic friend who believed that verse was meant to be taken literally (as...APPARENTLY. you do too). He literally cut off his hand just above the wrist. He's in our province's most supportive mental health ward.
Poor guy. Dad still sees him weekly when he's in Edmonton.
