Re: 'Splain yourself!
Sooner or later you gotta take responsibility for YOUR actions.
I did a whole thread on the issue of Salvation, at the Who can be saved? A Christian perspective.
Short story is I believe the message Jesus brought is that GOD forgives everyone, Muslim, Jew, Satanist, Wiccan, Hindu, Atheist, Agnostic, Taoist; regardless of what you believe or don't believe. No one is born damned, there is no Original Sin, and if there is a judgment, it will be personal, what you actually did versus what you might have done.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

OMG
I think that it is ridiculouse! Cutting of your hand because you took a comment in the bible? People should really learn to analize things more closlely.The bible has a lot to offer if we really listen.

Re: Re-The book of Matthew
Don't they mean exactly the same or can they only understand one version?

HI Heinrik,

Sin = "Sin is a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act that violates a moral rule, or the state of having committed such a violation. Commonly, the moral code of conduct is decreed by a divine entity" Sin - Wikipedia
Offend = "to cause difficulty, discomfort, or injury".
Unless you are God then it would be.
Offend = "to transgress the moral or divine law"
Matthew did not say anything about the hand offending God.
He did say if it offends you.
The article from the paper:
The book of Matthew also contains the passage: "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."
AOL - News, Politics, Sports, Mail & Latest Headlines - AOL.com
The article is quoting Matthew 5:30 I am stating in my message Message 7 that if it is quoting a Bible it is not the King James Version.
The author should have designated which Bible he was referring too.
But the way it is put he is inferring God said if your right hand cause you to sin cut it off.
Have fun,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Re: Re-The book of Matthew
I'm sorry I don't think I was clear enough with my question.
My observation was that you had given another version of one particular scripture, that was worded differently but in fact meant exactly the same.
My query was why? Why did you consider quoting exactly the same message as putting the record straight?
Edited by Heinrik, : No reason given.
