Mat_5:27-30 WEB "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' 28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna [Hell]. 30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be thrown into Gehenna [Hell].

Mar_9:47 NKJV "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hellfire."

Gal_4:14-16 WEB That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. 16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Literally Plucking Out An Eye

-- under construction --

Mat_5:28-30 But I say to you, That whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, and throw it away from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be cast into Geenna. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be cast into Geenna, (KJV-Based).

A General Introduction - Why this Passage is Important

The value of showing weather or not this passage should be taken literally goes beyond this one instance. You may be tempted to relegate this issue to a lower priority in your doctrinal values, but the problem is not that you would mess up with this one scripture, but that you would establish an un-biblical un-submitted selfish irreverent pattern of interpretation that would follow you until it is killed.

For absolute clarity’s sake: I’m not talking about the undecided but the rash in this section. If you don’t know where you stand yet, don’t feel that I’m talking about you. Neither am I talking about people that kind-a assumed that it was not literal. You still have a chance to change. I do not wish to come across as being harsh to those who do not know better. But I hope that after reading this that you will be educated by the Bible and have a chance to change.

I am also not at this point talking about an absolute point of salvation. If you disagree with me I am not saying that you are not going to heaven, but that it is not worth the risk. If I was stating me own opinion then there would be no danger. But because I am laying out what the Bible says, there is a risk. Weather or not it is a determinate of salvation you have no reason to have a confidence either way if you are off. Even if you did make to heaven, you are still endangering others by promoting false hood, and that is worth being afraid about.

I know people who wonder why they have a hard time with cretin scriptures as though they had tried everything to get the Truth. Then these same people take matters like this nonchalantly and rashly make a go at their own idea of what this scripture means. If I got a chance I am persuaded to say to such a one, “Don’t come to me about how you are struggling in this or that in your pursuit of God, and or in your obedience or understanding of the Bible, when you still have reachable readily changeable prerequisites to getting the Truth.” This person is like some one repeatedly running in to a closed door saying, “Why can I get into the next room??” If you are continuing to re-interpret scripture just the way you feel like interpreting it then you are shooting your self in the foot in preparation to run a marathon. If you are struggling, and you hold that this scripture is not literal don’t pretend like you don’t know of anything to that you could change.

Arguments Against Taking it Literally:

1.We all lust and you don’t see anyone going around and plucking out his or her eye.

2.Jesus wasn’t supposed to be taken literally. How can you tell if it is your right eye or your left eye that is causing you to sin? He must have meant something more than that.

3.It is the heart that is responsible for lust not the eyes!

Why you Should Take it Literally

1. A. It does not mater weather or not I or someone else obeys the Bible, it is still true and

should be obeyed.

B. If we take Jesus literally, you can still know that He is not in to the idea of plucking out one’s eye and neither is it necessary! Bear with me and I’ll show you why.

The immediate context and situation that Jesus gives for plucking out an eye is that one is hell bound because they cannot control them selves. Do I struggle with lust? -Yes just like every other male on the planet. But this is not the same as being hell bound because one gives into lust and so lives a life style of it. Granted most males give into it, but this is not the case with the saved male population which goes to heaven. We will struggle with but not end up giving in to this life style.

In the cases where one gives in to a lustful lifestyle, one is not saved. The same situation is described in 1Jo_3:6-10 where the proper translation of “does” or “commits” is the same word which includes one who continues to sin or continues to do righteousness.

1Jo_3:6-10 KJV-Based Whosoever abides in Him does not sin: whosoever sins has not seen Him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you: he that does⁴¹⁶⁰ [continues in] righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. 8 He that committs⁴¹⁶⁰ [continues in] sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever is born of God does⁴¹⁶⁰ not [continue to] commit sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does⁴¹⁶⁰ not do righteousness is not of God, neither he that does not love his brother.

The reason that I brought up this First John passage, is because it stands in agreement with the type of thing that Jesus is talking about which is a very literally True and much needed statement. In such cases it would be better to pluck out an eye rather than continue to lust. This is not to say that eye plucking is the only solution, but only that it would be better than being thrown into Geenna, (AKA “Hell”). This is the needed shock value of extreme truth, and with it one can face the harsh reality and not make excuses for lusting when they know how serious it is.

2. The issue about which eye is causing me to sin is a mute point because that is not the significance of a right eye. The right hand side is repeatedly used all threwout the Bible as being “The best” of something. For example Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, () the right hand of fellowship is a special place of honor, () being blessed with the right hand is a greater blessing than the left, (Gen_48:12-22) and so on and so on. Here are some more examples:

Exo_15:6, Exo_15:12, Exo_29:20, Exo_29:22, Lev_7:32, Lev_7:33, Lev_8:23, Lev_8:24, Lev_8:25, Lev_8:26, Lev_9:21, Lev_14:14, Lev_14:16, Lev_14:17, Lev_14:25, Lev_14:27, Lev_14:28, Num_18:18, Deu_33:2, Jdg_3:16, Jdg_7:20, 1Sa_11:2, 2Sa_20:9, 1Ki_2:19, 2Ki_23:13, 1Ch_6:39, Job_30:12, Job_40:14, Psa_16:8, Psa_16:11, Psa_17:7, Psa_18:35, Psa_20:6, Psa_21:8, Psa_26:10, Psa_44:3, Psa_45:6, Psa_45:9, Psa_60:5, Psa_63:8, Psa_73:23, Psa_74:11, Psa_77:10, Psa_78:54, Psa_80:15, Psa_80:17, Psa_89:13, Psa_89:25, Psa_89:42, Psa_98:1, Psa_108:6, Psa_109:6, Psa_109:31, Psa_110:1, Psa_110:5, Psa_118:15, Psa_118:16, Psa_121:5, Psa_137:5, Psa_138:7, Psa_139:14, Psa_142:4, Psa_144:8, Psa_144:11, Pro_4:11, Pro_27:16, Ecc_10:2, Son_2:6, Son_8:3, Isa_9:20, Isa_41:13, Isa_44:20, Isa_45:1, Isa_48:13, Isa_62:8, Isa_63:12, Jer_22:24, Lam_2:3, Lam_2:4, Eze_16:46, Eze_21:22, Zec_3:1, Zec_11:17, Mat_5:29, Mat_5:30, Mat_5:39, Mat_6:3, Mat_20:21, Mat_20:23, Mat_22:44, Mat_25:33, Mat_25:34, Mat_26:64, Mat_27:29, Mar_12:36, Mar_14:62, Mar_16:19, Luk_1:11, Luk_6:6, Luk_20:42,Luk_22:69, Joh_21:6, Act_2:25, Act_2:33, Act_2:34, Act_3:7, Act_5:31, Act_7:55, Act_7:56, Rom_8:34, Gal_2:9, Eph_1:20, Col_3:1, Heb_1:3, Heb_1:13, Heb_8:1, Heb_10:12, Heb_12:2, 1Pe_3:22, Rev_1:16, Rev_1:17, Rev_1:20, Rev_2:1, Rev_5:1, Rev_5:7, Rev_13:16.

(126 scriptures)

So if we take a little logic and suppose that the Bible means this time, the same thing that it meant the previous 100-something times then the passage would be rightly read:

“Even If your best hand causes you to sin, it’s better to chop off your best hand than to have all the rest of your body parts thrown in to Hell with it. –Lust is that serious!”

· This is even shown in the same speech when he talks about the right cheek.

Mat_5:39 But¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ That ye resist⁴³⁶ not³³⁶¹ evil:⁴¹⁹⁰ but²³⁵ whosoever³⁷⁴⁸ shall smite⁴⁴⁷⁴ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ right¹¹⁸⁸ cheek,⁴⁶⁰⁰ turn⁴⁷⁶² to him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ other²⁴³ also.²⁵³²

Also in the same speech He says,

Mat_6:3 But¹¹⁶¹ when thou⁴⁶⁷⁵ doest⁴¹⁶⁰ alms,¹⁶⁵⁴ let not³³⁶¹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ left hand⁷¹⁰ know¹⁰⁹⁷ what⁵¹⁰¹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ right hand¹¹⁸⁸ doeth:⁴¹⁶⁰

It is also very consistent threw-out the book of Matthew.

Mat_25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Matthew is a consistently Jewish and necessitates the Old Testament which says

1Sa_11:2 KJV+ And Nahash⁵¹⁷⁶ the Ammonite⁵⁹⁸⁴ answered^{559, 413} them, On this²⁰⁶³ condition will I make³⁷⁷² a covenant with you, that I may thrust out⁵³⁶⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ your right³²²⁵ eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and lay⁷⁷⁶⁰ it for a reproach²⁷⁸¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

Zec_11:17 Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ to the idol⁴⁵⁷ shepherd⁷⁴⁷³ that leaveth⁵⁸⁰⁰ the flock!⁶⁶²⁹ the sword²⁷¹⁹ shall be upon⁵⁹²¹ his arm,²²²⁰ and upon⁵⁹²¹ his right³²²⁵ eye:⁵⁸⁶⁹ his arm²²²⁰ shall be clean dried up,^{3001, 3001} and his right³²²⁵ eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall be utterly darkened.^{3543, 3543}

-A right eye is the most important! It is obvious when backed up with the other scriptures.

Psa_110:1 A Psalm⁴²¹⁰ of David.¹⁷³² The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁰⁰² unto my Lord,¹¹³ Sit³⁴²⁷ thou at my right hand,³²²⁵ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ I make⁷⁸⁹⁶ thine enemies³⁴¹ thy footstool.^{1916, 7272}

Psa_144:8 Whose⁸³⁴ mouth⁶³¹⁰ speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ vanity,⁷⁷²³ and their right hand³²²⁵ is a right hand³²²⁵ of falsehood.⁸²⁶⁷

Ecc_10:2 A wise man's²⁴⁵⁰ heart³⁸²⁰ is at his right hand,³²²⁵ but a fool's³⁶⁸⁴ heart³⁸²⁰ at his left.⁸⁰⁴⁰

Isa_62:8 The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ by his right hand,³²²⁵ and by the arm²²²⁰ of his strength,⁵⁷⁹⁷ Surely I will no⁵¹⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰

Act_3:7 And²⁵³² he took⁴⁰⁸⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ by the³⁵⁸⁸ right¹¹⁸⁸ hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ and lifted him up:¹⁴⁵³ and¹¹⁶¹ immediately³⁹¹⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ feet⁹³⁹ and²⁵³² ankle bones⁴⁹⁷⁴ received strength.⁴⁷³²

Gal_2:9 And²⁵³² when James,^{2385 (2532)} Cephas,²⁷⁸⁶ and²⁵³² John,²⁴⁹¹ who seemed¹³⁸⁰ to be¹⁵¹¹ pillars,⁴⁷⁶⁹ perceived¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ that was given¹³²⁵ unto me,³⁴²⁷ they gave¹³²⁵ to me¹⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² Barnabas⁹²¹ the right hands¹¹⁸⁸ of fellowship,²⁸⁴² that²⁴⁴³ we²²⁴⁹ should go unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ heathen,¹⁴⁸⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ they⁸⁴⁶ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ circumcision.⁴⁰⁶¹

4.If something ‘causes you to sin’ that does not mean that you are not guilty, but only that it caused it. Jesus recognized this:

Mtt. 13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. (NIV)

Other times that He said the same thing

If everything else has not clicked, then it becomes undeniably clear in light of the other time that Jesus said the same things, and how it was recorded in different accounts:

Mat_18:6-9 EMTV "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone be hanged on his neck, and he be drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man through whom the offense comes! 8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut them off and cast them from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, than having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, than having two eyes, to be thrown into the fiery hell.

MK 9:42 "And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck. [43] If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. [45] And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [47] And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, [48] where

" `their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'

In light of all of the Biblical proofs I’ve shown, it is perfectly logical in the Kingdom to interpret the “plucking” passages literally and anything else would be inconsistent and un-biblical. Do I use this passage for other applications? Yes it is better for me to kick out a bad member of the church than have the whole congregation ‘go to Hell.’ But I do it after giving priority to what it originally literally means.

I beg you to look at this issue soberly and in Truth! If you argue against taking it literally, then consider: The most that you may have is a good argument saying not to take it literally, but I have over 130 Bible verses that say that you should.

Fools like to take the Bible figuativly to escape submitting to the Bible. “If the shoe fits where it” and realize that you are the one who was deceived to distort God’s Word.

· If you compromise the clear teachings of the Bible, then you are just as guilty as “those people,” who we always shake our heads at. “No one is predestined to hell” is the same as “Gifts passed away with Apostles” is the same as “No more tongues/ healings…,” is the same as “No instruments in Church,” is the same as “Baptismal Regeneration,” is the same as “If it ant King James it ant the Bible,” is the same as “No take pluck out eye literally”

Þ They all lead to: “The Bible was not meant to be taken literally,” “Jesus rose from the dead spiritually but not physically,” and “all religions lead to the same place.”

Well-Being

1/8/26

Jesus places the avoidance of sin at The core essence of a person's psychological sense of well-being.

Jesus stops you abruptly and shockingly from ever even coming close to trivializing sin

Body part chopping absolutely stops you dead in your tracks from trivializing sin

Remember, he's already established that you have to be the first one to admit that you're wrong, and he deepens your passion by absolutely demanding vital seriousness against all sin no matter the cost

The SURVIVAL-Motivation of Hand chopping

12/25/25

Literally cutting off a body part is part of an essential obsessive posture toward the vital necessity of apprehending salvation from sin.

Whenever you say it's figurative or don't take him seriously you're actually undermining the exact psychological functionality that Jesus is telling you to have:

Achievement motivation,

Goals as safety signals, Sense of safety strategies, Safety/Security needs channeled into achievement,

Failure-avoidant motivation, Avoidance-focused achievement,

Mastery orientation, Mastery goals, Contingent self-worth, Contingent self-esteem, Achievement-based identity,

Approach-oriented achievement motivation, Overidentification with performance, Overidentification with role, Achievement addiction, Maladaptive perfectionism, Self-actualization drive, Purpose-driven identity, Meaning-making through goals

12/4/25-12/5/25

The Bible is very consistent that you cut off the things that cause ongoing sin

/\\/

Plucking out An Eye, Literally

11/24/25

Liberal apostates like to say that Matthew_5:27-30 can't be literal

They have various excuses like saying that cutting off body parts doesn't actually change the heart.

They may also say that JC is the master of hyperbole, which is of course the opposite of historical reality since Jesus was a monotheist.

Mark and Luke however give us more information.

Mar_9:42-48 LSV 42 and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea. 43 And if your hand may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands, to go away into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— 44 [[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]] 45 And if your foot may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— 46 [[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]] 47 And if your eye may cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God one-eyed, than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire— 48 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;

Mark particularly gives us the parallel with being drowned in the depths of the sea to avoid causing a little one to stumble.

We see that it is very logically possible for a person to be executed before they commit a crime against a little one and bear the eternal weight of guilt that God will bring on them at judgment.

Being executed before committing a crime is considered a positive profitable contribution to a person's life in contrast to the potential of them continuing to live and sinning against one of these little ones

Since it is logically possible to prevent someone from committing a crime by executing them swiftly, so also Jesus tells us that we should chop off body parts that are making us sin to avoid the exact same pit of Hell fire.

A hyperbole could be an overstatement, whereas Jesus is not overstating himself since his somber sober reality of consistent and very clear logic carries all the way through all of these Illustrative case studies

Hand Chopping

8/10/25

Literally chopping off a hand is despised by superficial cheap shallow fleshly thinking and blasphemous anti- Bible obedience

But wisdom and Truth obedience embraces the literalness of the hand chopping because...

It is actually logically valid to sacrifice one body part to save your whole body

Objects in this life can indeed be a tripping point that scandalizes you (makes you fall) into sin

Morally and thematically

Literal hand chopping is precisely consistent with the morality of Truth throughout the whole Bible...

Sacrificing a smaller piece of your body or life for the sake of avoiding sin is logically and morally valid and consistent with the entire Bible

Hand shopping is being conceptualized in a very long history of humans making sacrifices all throughout the Bible to give up one thing to gain something good and true

Hand chopping has to be taken literally because it is so practically intertwined with the entire concept of making sacrifices and the entire concept of avoiding sin

Literal hand chopping cannot be dismissed and swept away as figurative or hyperbole because it is exactly consistent in a long history of fleeing lust

A pervert and a fool And a shallow-minded Bible disobeyer complains and says that a hand can't be the issue because it is a sin of the heart and therefore the heart has to be the real issue and he can't be serious about the hand, but this is as mindless and ignorant and illiterate and de-educating as ignoring all the other related commands throughout the Bible and relegating them to hyperbole even though they're extremely true and practical and morally excellent, such as...

A pervert and a fool would then have to logically say 'you don't need to flee lust because it's not the circumstance that's the problem it's your heart'

But when we flee lust we are committing our heart to not sin, and we are distrusting ourselves to resist sin so that we remove ourselves from the temptation and solidify faithfulness and anti-sin in our heart in doing so

You don't say that the problem is my heart so I don't need to flee lust!

Proverbs says don't even go down her path!

The inconsistent hypocrisy of the perverted fool who rebels against scripture to say that hand chopping is not literal because it has to do with the heart, if they were to be consistent, is logically constrained to say that the harlots path is not the issue, the person's heart is, therefore you don't need to take the Bible literally when it says to flee lust or avoid her path because you just need to deal with your heart, as if you're figurative Bible disobedience replaces the actual words of God so that you don't have to obey him because you think you're so spiritual that you avoid the concrete actual obedience because you think you know what it's all about - "the heart" and in doing this way you betray your own wickedness and show how ugly and disgusting your heart really is...
