If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off


Matthew 5:30
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.

Those who know Yshua well would know that He is not advocating people to maim themselves nor is there other evidence to suggest that He likes people to hurt themselves. On the contrary, many of His miraculous deeds include healing people, which means Yshua loves to heal and make others whole. This particular verse in Scripture is written in dramatic fashion to specifically highlight the seriousness of sin. We are supposed to treat sin as such a danger that it is better to lose a limb if that can help avoid us from sinning. It also spells out the consequence of sin quite clearly and it is a dire warning indeed.
