I just looked that Quote up If you believed this you should be reading this with one eye and typing with one hand because you literally must believe Christ MATTHEW 18:8”If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire.Hyperbole
Recognize and be able to use hyperboles.
A hyperbole is a type of figurative language. It is often confused with a simile or a metaphor because it often compares two objects. The difference is a hyperbole is an exaggeration. For example: His feet were as big as a barge. It looks like a simile. It is comparing foot size to the size of a barge. Everyone knows that a barge is approximately 700 feet long. Imagine getting a pair of shoes that big!
Activity: Draw a cartoon about school or your favorite sport that includes a hyperbole (You might draw and exaggerate a humerous situation that you saw or were a part of the action.). Put the hyperbole in a different color so that it is obvious to your teacher.
Definition:

Hyperboles are common in everyday language and in poetry.

I’m sure God has a long list of special dispensations
for idolatry and blasphemy
in the name of hyperbole.
Of course, He may occasionally ask . . .
Just how is it now, that
all these rooms full of terabytes of hyperbolic venerations, adorations and worshipfulness toward Mary
compare favorably against
a couple of drawers in a dusty file cabinet in the back room of a forgotten monestary toward God The Father, The Son and Holy Spirit?
I guess they aren’t worthy even much hyperbole . . . by comparison of raw lines of text.
Fascinating.
I think I’m learning another difference between Rabid Clique sorts of RC’s vs Prottys.
A MUCH bigger percentage of Prottys know when they are in a deep hole, to . . . uhhhhh . . .
