I know a guy who read "pluck out your eye..." and gouged his eye out.
I am more concerned about this one:
Matt 10:34 “(B)Do not think that I came to [b]bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to (C)SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;
I know this is not literal...a sword... but the messiah is supposed to unify familes...not seperate them. The real purpose of Micah 7 was it that the evil people seperated families.
You are right, it is a symbolic language. .... There is wisdom in it. Please share the meaning (if you find it) you think Jesus meant to give us.
“I know a guy who read “pluck out your eye...” and gouged his eye out.”
Did he really do it? How’s he doing now?
