What I am having trouble with.
Right now I am having trouble with the idea of how far do we take the teachings of Christ. He told Nicodemus to sell all of his possessions and give them to the poor, which I can understand. I mean why should one man go hungry when another has an abundance. But He also said to blind the eye that caused you to lust.
I mean where do we stop and say surely he doesn't want every man who is a follower to be blind (because we all would be without a doubt). If that is the case then why would we think that He truly means sell everything you have and give it to the poor.
I guess we need to go back and look at what the true meaning for blind your eye and put it in the setting of that time period.
Crap who knows.
