Humbly, yet very assertively exhorting / warning, re: the eye(s), and the sin(s) associated therewith.

"Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied." - Prov 27:20. 

"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" - Mat 6:22-23

Thus,
"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." -Matt 18:9.  That is, literally remove it from that thing, not from your body of course, but from the sinful thing /activity, or cease, [the same applies to any of our other members that cause us to sin - "Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire." - Matt 18:8]

"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." - Matt 5:28;  "Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids." - Prov 6:25

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” - 1 Jn 2:16-17.

so please, we pray for GOD's strength and grace to "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee." - Pro_4:25.  "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matt 26:41, remembering always John 15:5 & Phil 4:13

"Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied." - Prov 27:20.

who is the man here? you?
so a man can not be satisfied in life? i dont seem to understand this part

@OP what you are talking about is called repression and it is dangerous. Women are beautiful, as are men. Members of the opposite sex look at one another. Even when married they look. So, if this is adultery that is just absurd. There is a saying that goes, I am married I am not blind.

This strict and dogmatic to the letter approach to Christianity is not spiritual or righteous and is often what leads people to "backslide."

The world is full of wonderful things. We must learn to enjoy them without feeling guilty. Guilt and shame are the cornerstones of religion and keep people locked and fear and not fully living.

What happens when people follow what you are prescribing is that they fall into whatever behavior it is at such as extreme because they have repressed their natural tendencies for so long.

Being able to live realistically in this world is key, not following doctrine for brief periods of time and then falling back into dysfuntional behavior.
Look at all the people who were once or are Christians who engage in out of control behaviors like sleeping with numerous women, homosexuality, child abuse, drinking, drugs, etc.

There is a reason for this out of control state, and it is this repression which you are advising. People need to feel what they feel naturally so they are aware of it and can deal with it to get to the root of the problem, not just pretend there is no problem, if one even thinks such behavior is a problem.

Enjoy life. No reason to pluck your eye out.

@Hischild: What happens to liars? What do they pluck out?

Maybe their hearts?

their tongues?

Their lips?

What do you have left, mr. hischild as frosbel is such a freak when it comes to lying

how do you like that?

@Sweetnecta remember that @Hischild is also a liar. He has stated that Judgment day happened on May 21 of this year and also that the world will end before the year is over and he will be raptured. So whatever the liars must pluck out. @Hischild should also get ready to pluck.

While Jesus meant these statements Metaphorically , Muhammad actually performed these acts literally.


Qur'an (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides, "

Qur'an (8:12) - "Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them."

From the Hadith:

Ishaq:595 -  The Apostle said, ‘Get him away from me and cut off his tongue.‘


Muslim (16:4131) - They were caught and brought to him (the Holy Prophet). He commanded about them, and (thus) their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes were gouged and then they were thrown in the sun, until they died.  Muhammad had two killers put to death, not in the way of "an eye-for-an-eye," but in a more agonizing manner.

Tabari VIII:96 - A raiding party led by Zayd set out against Umm in Ramadan. During it, Umm suffered a cruel death. Zyad tied her legs with rope and then tied her between two camels until they split her in two. She was a very old woman. Then they brought Umm’s daughter and Abdallah to the Messenger. Umm’s daughter belonged to Salamah who had captured her. Muhammad asked Salamah for her, and Salamah gave her to him.


Muslim (17:4196) - A married man confesses that he has adultery (four times, as required).  Muhammad orders him planted in the ground and pelted with stones.  According to the passage, the[b] first several stones caused such pain that he tried to escape and was dragged ba[/b]ck.



Merciful Muhamamd ( SAW ) indeed

So was Yahweh is the father, so was Holy spirit is another God. is there anything literal in the NT, since even buying sword and bring him and slaughter him before were also metaphorical? Frosbel. bloke, you nothing real about what you peddle around as reality?

God Who commanded, meant the commandment to be carried out as is. not as others deem it. Thy Will be done.
When are you going to carve out your heart? That will be a spectacle; another one [liar] bites the dust by his own hands.

i know you are capable of doing it, because you will endure oppression till death comes for you.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Remember what Yahweh did literally in OT? Thats what Muhammad [as] in his life did.
metaphorical is not great conviction.
