Im just wondering where your going with this bible passage? Today, most Christians follow the teachings of what is called Christianity. In the New Testament, Jesus gave of a more spiritual understanding of these passages. When Jesus said, if thy hand offends you, cut it off, if your foot offends, cut it off, if you eye offends, pluck it out, for its better to enter Heaven with one eye than with an offense. We have to remember Jesus was always talking in the spirit. With that being said, my foot, represents my walk, the eye, what you allow to take into your inner being. Your hand, what your put your hand to, your work, are you glorifing God in your work, or , are you stealing for a living. How about the priest, they where held to a higher standing. How were they to apply there teachings? Leviticus 14 28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering: 29: And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord So, me and my wife do it this way.. (In Faith) Lord, Were placing oil on our right toe, so that today, our walk with you, is to walk the straight and narrow. We determine to quit walking in the ways of the world and to only walk according to your ways. We will not turn to the left or right unless the Holy Spirit directs us. We put oil on our right thumb, and we ask that what ever we put our hand to, (job) work related, may we always give you glory. We determine to never put our hand to anything that displeases you. (wrong motives). We put oil on our right ear, that today, we only listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. We determine to quit listing to worldly influences, (TV junk) Careless music. We put oil on the top of our head. we ask that today you cover our thinking (righteous thoughts) and our whole body in the anointing of the Holy Spirit, as we are daily at your gates with psalms and hymns and reading of your words. We lift you up with the sound of joyful praises all through the day. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
I have not been recording my thoughts, just reading scripture as published, that being said since your asking my opinion it is this, I am a work in progress, learning daily, praying earnestly, seeking the will of The Father. What you say above makes sense but I think there is always more, and each person must walk their own path to Truth. I believe in grace but also think if we truly repent our life will show it in all areas and modern Christianity is too shallow.
