GARBAGE
Most Universities that teach the Bible know very little about the Bible, and teach almost nothing about Jesus because the teachings of Jesus are not popular. For example, Jesus said, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” Matthew 5:29-30. Which Bible student wants to know more about what Jesus says in this text? Most of the Bible “professors” will say that this is hyperbole. And most of their students will say amen, amen, and amen again. Why? Because they cannot make money from teaching Matthew 5:29-30, even after the church gives their worshipers donuts, cakes, drinks, and popular band entertainment for coming to their church. The church of today wants to make money by attracting more visitors. The pastors want to make money. Everybody that invested in the church wants to make money. But what did the church give back to the worshipers? GARBAGE!
Paul, aka Saul, wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. Now, this is what the majority of Christians want to hear and read. Did Jesus say this? No, He did not. What did He say? Jesus said, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” Matthew 5:29-30. That’s what He said if you want to go to heaven - pluck your eye out or cut your hand off if it causes you to sin. It is more profitable for you to go to heaven without an eye and without a hand, than for your whole body, and soul, to be cast out in hell! That's when you will hear weeping and gnashing of teeth. And if you think this is hyperbole, be patient Bro, be patient. Jesus will soon return. Also, do readers understand what we have to do to be saved? Jesus wants us to work, cut our hand off or pluck our eye out if they cause us to sin, understand? There is no faith or grace option, only work! This is the lesson from Jesus, and never forget. He wants us to work if we want to be saved. Cut our hand off, or pluck our eye out if we want to be saved. What is the alternative? What choices do we have? Read my next article.
