[Mark17]

Do you think one should cut off one's hand or pluck our an eye to avoid sexual sin or else is in danger of hell ?

I have never asked, but I know others have asked you the exact same question? Have you? Since you can’t tell the difference between a metaphor or figure of speech, and reality. Example: Jesus said he is the door. Is he made of wood? He is the bright and morning star. Does that mean he is celestial body, hanging in space, giving off light? I think not. So, since most Catholics think we should eat his body, and drink his blood, have you cut off your hand? If not, why not? Because it is to be taken figuratively. Remember bro, the men of Nineveh. If you have no assurance of salvation, that is a danger sign bro, but it’s not my problem, it’s yours. Have a nice eternity 🔥 I hope you make it bro, but if you don’t, that’s your problem. Meanwhile, physician, heal thy self, pluck out your own eye, before you worry about someone else’s.

[af_vet_1981]

Meanwhile, physician, heal thy self, pluck out your own eye, before you worry about someone else’s.

So when it is inconvenient, one interprets the scripture differently. I suppose that is human nature.

“Call no man father” is taken literally but sexual sin is taken figuratively. When one believes he or she is already saved, no matter what sins they commit, it is a snare.

Conduct really does matter; what one does.
praxis: a deed, function
Original Word: πρᾶξις, εως, ἡ

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. — Matthew 16:26-27
