"If my eye doth offend you pluck it out."
Did he really want someone to pluck out his eye? No.
How does an eye offend? It doesn't mean that it means this, "If what I see in you offends you."
Or rather, "If what I see in you, believe to be true about you and then say about you offends you..."
"Pluck it out?" That isn't a human behavior is it. It is either someone who is psychotic or has a brain defect that would actually attack you and attempt to tear out your eye?
So that is what Jesus is saying you are!
I would say that is something an animal would do to you but Facebook censorship doesn't have the mental capacity to understand what a crime against humanity is and by default what would commit that.
But yeah, Jesus is saying that. If what I see in your behavior, if what I say about you that I believe to be true, if that offends you so greatly, that is what you are? An animal for wanting to tear out a persons eye because of that?
Lets see if I can get it more to the point once more. Jesus is calling out Satan isn't he!
If what people truthful think and believe and say about you offends you then you are an animal for not being able to change? You are an animal for not being able to recognize the truth in yourself? In fact you are so stupid that you believe all you have to do in life to hide your own ugliness and sickness is to manually blind anyone who sees it?
We have had a few of those as President of our Country haven't we?
Now you won't hear that in Church. In fact your Priest would likely be fired for it. But the same Republican parents who want to pay to write the grades of their own children? So much for the validity of private schools.
That Catholic Faith (or Christian Faith) only works when you have men strong enough to tell you what it means.
In effect Jesus Christ is telling you about a standard of his Kingdom!
