Why did the student eat his homework? Because the teacher told him it was a piece of cake.
There are some things in the Bible that cannot be taken literally. Case in point:
Matthew 5:29
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.
Interpretation: anything that keeps you from heaven or in a state of constant guilt should be cut out. Our parents would yell at us, “Cut that out.”
Whatever keeps you from Christ, cut it out.
Whatever sin leaves you with guilt, cut it out.
Make some cuts before it is too late.
Give it some thought.
