Literal Interpretation

<< < (2/3) > >>

arion:
Let's see them do this one;

Mat 5:29-30 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.  And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Since the bible is almost completely literal.........

Kat:

Arion, I had to laugh at that.

Hi Kat _

I agree with what you say about these acts as being "foolishness"!  Thank you for the back up scriptures!

I gained insight to Ray's comment on "faith" concerning this foolishness through an email question where he also mentions "guns"....

Snake handlers take the bible very literally -----

..........."they will pick up snakes with their hands."...........Mark 16:18 NIV

Also, these "pentecostals" seriously (and literally) ....  cast out devils-----  speak with new tongues-----  drink poison (at least some have and failed)------ perform exorcisms----- lay hands on the sick------  and usually------ jewerly is forbidden (including rings and watches)----- women may not cut their hair------  members greet each other a holy kiss-----

You guys can include your own literal performances!  And include your own experiences with these movements !

Joel:
Actually many years ago a Pastor told the congregation I was in about a man that stood in front of a toilet, forced his fingers behind his eyeballs, gouged them out and flushed them down the commode. :o
All because he lusted after women he saw.

Did NOT NEED to know that.  :-\
But, how did he know to find the flushing handle after he plucked out the second eye?
