While I don't agree with the totality of the message. I find your explanation not only engaging but also very impressive.

I tell you if this passage is to be taken literally, he'd have not one worthy disciple. Let's agree Jesus is infallible.

The whole truth of the message is that religious performance, dead works & self righteousness does not make us right with God. The only thing that make us right with God is our faith in the Finished Work of Christ on the Cross.... Its all about the Grace of God given unto us through Christ Jesus, if not, no man will make it.

Hyperboles are extreme exaggerated statements used to make a point and/or claims not meant to be taken literally

If I should say: I am hungry, I can right now, eat a house
Was I serious? Yes, I am deadly serious as regards the gravity of the sitiation,
same as Jesus when He said ''Chop Off Your Hand'' (i.e. if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away...)

So hyperbole is a natural exaggeration for the purpose of emphasis
Its used everytime in literature and we all use it everyday in oral communication.

Re u Jesus? How did u know he was using an hyperbole? He made clear cut statement and even gave example with consequence and you saying its an hyperbole.

Alright... yes i am good. Thank you.

Bunch of hypocrites. Christ meant everything he said literally. You won't hesitate to interpret any verse you see in the Quran , you do that without looking at it "figurative" or literal.

But you practice your own physically by stoning people and cutting peoples hand as stated in sharia,how many christian churches embark on cutting peoples hand like muslims who drive joy in doing so.It shows who interpret its own figuratively and who does not.

Pls don't let the op or anyone deceive you. Jesus was speaking in parables here and the op knows this only that he want to poison the minds of the people. "If your hand will make you to sin, cut it off it is better to enter Heaven with one hand than to have all parts of your body in HELL...". There are people that cherish their sinful lifestyles, business, friends etc and these SINFUL things they cherish will lead them to hell. Jesus is telling such people to do away with such things no matter how important it is to them.


Can I ask you a question?, Of all the people that went to Heaven in the Bible, is there any one that cut off his or her body parts to be in Heaven? No!.

What did they do to be in Heaven?, They cut off from certain things that would have hindered them from making Heaven.

When God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, what happened?.

I cannot be deceived.

You didn't understand what you read. For the self-rightious ones Yea Jesus meant it when he said Cut your hands but for those that are broken in spirit and needs the grace of God, he's our perfect high priest who has fulfilled every law so his grace will be very sufficient. So its left for you to choose your road to heaven. .. Na personal race. But judging from your post, I think you definitely need to cut some of your fingers cos replying without understanding is one of the symptoms of over sabi in other words self-rightiousness.

SMH.
You should quietly go sit down somewhere and look the words, confused and hypocrite, up in the dictionary.

The whole bible, especially the old testament was written in metaphor and figuratives.

Example; there were no literal snake tempting Adam and Eve.

Of course, there's no literal hell fire that a loving God would condemn his children forever.

Heaven is a state of peace of mind, happiness, joy, everything good. Hell is a state of lack of peace of mind, unhappiness, lack of joy, everything bad. This's to mention a few.

There're also multiple mistakes in the bible and the other so called holy books, either due to translation error or opinions by the writers to espouse their own view, not the view of God.

Example; Isaiah: 45 vs 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Amos: 3 vs 6 Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

These were the opinions of Isaiah and Amos for whatever goals they were promoting- just like this post is my opinion.

At this point we can conclude that this op' use of English score was and still poor op pls biko which state are u from and which church do u attend..

[quote author=jiggaz post=51121135]“If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.” (Mt 5:29-30)

I doubt there’s a Christian alive who hasn’t been troubled by this verse at some point in their lives. It’s one of those things you read that causes you to do a double-take. What?! Did Jesus really say that? Was He serious? I’d better ask the pastor.

I’ll guess the odds are ten to one you came away thinking that Jesus wasn’t being serious. Afterall, Jesus is the kindest person there is. He healed people. Surely He doesn’t want us to go around maiming ourselves. Then you looked around your church and saw that no one had actually chopped off their hands and so you took comfort in the fact that everyone thought the same way as you did. There’s safety in numbers.

No doubt this is an uncomfortable pair of verses. Maybe you don’t think about them that much. But your interpretation of Jesus’ words is extremely important! So let’s cut to the chase with this question: was Jesus being figurative or literal when He made this statement? If you think He was using a figure of speech, how do you know that He wasn’t speaking metaphorically all of the time? Do you just assume that anytime Jesus said something that was tough to swallow that He was speaking figuratively? Or if you think Jesus was being literal, what are you going to do about it? Have you done what He said or have you ignored Him? Hmm. It seems your choice is presumption or disobedience. This is a tricky one. Let’s look more closely at the arguments for each conclusion.

Was Jesus speaking figuratively?

Jesus loved metaphors, especially when describing the kingdom of heaven. “It’s like a mustard seed” and “it’s like a treasure buried in field” and “it’s like a pearl of great price.” Jesus often used word pictures to convey revelation.
I guess the default view is that Jesus is making another metaphor when He tells us to gouge out our eyes and chop off our hands. “Jesus is using strong words to convey something about the seriousness of sin. He’s not really preaching self-mutilation but self-denial. What He means to say is we must be sensitive to sin and renounce it and run from it and do whatever it takes to avoid it.”

Does this sound familiar to you? It should, for this has been the standard interpretation for most of church history. But there are two fatal flaws with this conclusion. First, it assumes that Jesus was exaggerating and Jesus never exaggerated. Preachers sometimes exaggerate to make a point but Jesus always meant what He said and said what He meant. He is Truth personified. It is inconceivable that He would play with words for the crude purpose of ramming home a lesson. When Jesus spoke in parables He did so to conceal truths, not to stretch them (Mt 13:13). In any case, the passage above is not part of a parable. The context is the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus has just been speaking about anger and lust. His language is plain because the issues are serious. There is nothing metaphorical about His choice of words.

The second flaw with this interpretation is that it suggests we can do stuff to save ourselves from hell. Maybe we don’t have to self-amputate, but we can do things like confess, abstain, renounce and what have you. There’s nothing wrong with these things; the error comes in thinking we can save ourselves by doing them. No doubt it is better to enter eternal life handicapped than for your whole body to go to hell. But it does not follow that you can do things to earn eternal life.

Was Jesus speaking literally?

Most people think Jesus was speaking figuratively because they cannot conceive for a second that He meant what He said. But what if He did? Does it then follow that He actually wants us to chop off our hands? Of course not! We are
sanctified by the blood of the Lamb , not our severed limbs (Heb 10:29). Self-mutilation does nothing to deal with sin for sin is conceived in the heart not the hand (Mt 5:28). Besides, if you chop one hand off you’re left with another. You can still sin!

So what’s going on here? Why would Jesus tell us to do something He doesn’t really want us to do? He’s doing it so people will realize the absurdity of trying to impress God with their acts of self-righteousness. He’s preaching law on steroids not so that you will try to keep it but so that you will give up pretending you are.

It is hard for some Christians to grasp the idea that Jesus could preach both grace and law without confusing the two, but He did. Jesus is the perfect physician. He knows exactly what medicine you need. If you’re broken and hurting you’ll get grace, but if you’re self-righteous and religious you’ll get law. A self-righteous person is one who thinks he can impress God with his religious performance. The only language he understands is law. He says, “all these commands I have kept from my youth, what else do I lack?” And Jesus responds, “Okay, you asked for it, here it is – receive some more law.”

Why preach the law?

The law is not a standard to live up to, but a mirror that reveals our faults. The law was not given to help you overcome sin, but to help sin overcome you (Rms 7:8-9). In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus was preaching to people who thought they would be judged righteous if they kept the law. But instead of being silenced by their inability to do so, they had watered it down making it easier to keep. In Matthew 23 Jesus gives some specific examples of how the Pharisees had diluted the law, but in Matthew 5 He sets about raising the standard of the law to its proper level. In other words, He was polishing the mirror.

Why did Jesus do this? Why did our gracious king spend so much time preaching the law? Because some people will never appreciate the good news until they’ve heard the bad news, which is this:

“Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Mt 5:20)

The law is holy, righteous and good, but try to live by it and it will condemn and kill you (2 Cor 3:6,9). The purpose of the law is to bring man to the end of himself and reveal his need for a Savior (Gal 3:24). If you are self-righteous, you will never appreciate Jesus until the law has done its job and plowed the pride out of your smug little heart. I’m a decent person, you say. I’ve never killed or committed adultery. Not good enough, says Jesus. God knows your heart. If you’ve entertained murderous or lustful thoughts you’ve as good as done it. You’re in danger of hell-fire. This is a serious business, says Jesus. If you persist in this pathetic course of self-reliance, you had better be prepared to go the whole way even if that means sacrificing an eye and a hand. (Paul says something similar in Galatians 5:12 .)

And knowing there would be some religious wackos out there who might miss the point and actually go to such extremes, Jesus hits them with this:

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48)

God expects perfection and nothing less. If you’re not perfect, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you’re in serious trouble. Now here’s the good news:

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Mt 5:17)

Jesus fulfilled all of the requirements of the law on your behalf. You are not perfect, but thank God you have a perfect high priest!

“Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,
Christ was speaking figuratively not literally....

Actually many churches still teach self-righteous. I saw a preacher still preaching about wearing weavon, women wearing trousers, guys barbing certain hair style, drinking alcohol, wearing necklaces and bangles.

You are still missing it. I said something about some action people take all in the name of being put right with God, the only way we are put right with God is through our faith in the finish work of Jesus Christ. Most religious performance were invented by man and wasnt the purpose of God, yet this people teach this things to their members.

ROM 3:21-31


But now God's way of putting people right with himself has been revealed. It has nothing to do with law, even though the Law of Moses and the prophets gave their witness to it. God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all: everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence. But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free. God offered him, so that by his blood he should become the means by which people's sins are forgiven through their faith in him. God did this in order to demonstrate that he is righteous. In the past he was patient and overlooked people's sins; but in the present time he deals with their sins, in order to demonstrate his righteousness. In this way God shows that he himself is righteous and that he puts right everyone who believes in Jesus. What, then, can we boast about? Nothing! And what is the reason for this? Is it that we obey the Law? No, but that we believe. For we conclude that a person is put right with God only through faith, and not by doing what the Law commands. Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles also? Of course he is. God is one, and he will put the Jews right with himself on the basis of their faith, and will put the Gentiles right through their faith. Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.

Dont let the trees prevent you from seeing the wood
Here are a few authentic criteria to know hyperboles from non-hyperboles

It is a hyperbole
1) When a statement is disjuncted with context, the speaker’s utterance seems at odds with the general context
(e.g. swallowing a camel mentioned in Matthew 23:24; no one swallows camels)

2) When a statement is counterfactual, yet isnt taken as a lie
(e.g. raining cats and dogs in my scenario above; though with a caveat it doesnt rain cats and dogs)

3) When an overstatement is made about impossible physical events literally taking place
(e.g. move mountain from here to there in Matthew 17:20; no one literally moves physical mountains)

Would this apply to your reading of 'cyrus cylinder brouhaha'?

How is being advised to chop off your hand at odds with any general context in which we've read that passage. Don't people's hands get cut off in Jesus' day? What is the general context that leads you to say that cutting off your hands is at odds with it.

Perhaps the whole notion of Hell is Hyperbole too. Yes?

and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.

How do we know that Jesus wasn't being hyperbolic here? Why should people roast for calling someone a fool, unless maybe it was hyperbole after all this is a saying that I'm not too comfortable with. You can bet that right now I'm reading your posts and thinking exactly that of you, and it would be very unfair if I should end up in hell just because I had the misfortune of reading your posts.

30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.


So let's look at the general context of the passage. If cutting off of the hands is hyperbole, yet he said that this hyperbole (exaggeration) is better than the whole body going to hell then that must mean that going to hell is an even bigger hyperbole. So therefore you must conclude that Hell is just a hyperbole that shouldn't be taken seriously. Nor be so?


3) When an overstatement is made about impossible physical events literally taking place

Luke chapter 21
26Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”




Is this Hyperbole, the part about the son of man coming in a cloud?

Are all the miracles in the bible hyperbole in your opinion because after all the refer to 'impossible physical events literally taking place'?
