The surgeon’s knife!​

Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell​

Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.​

G1581
ἐκκόπτω
ekkoptō
ek-kop'-to
From G1537 and G2875; to exscind; figuratively to frustrate: - cut down (off, out), hew down, hinder.

Coming from a medical background I can appreciate what Jesus meant when He said to cut it out, pluck it out, and cast it away!
When someone is diagnosed with a type of deadly cancer, tumor, growth, cyst, or any other physical disease that must be removed, it’s easy to seek help from the best surgeon who can do his best work at cutting out this disease implanted in your body.
I believe this can be well used to describe the sick condition of the church today, where many are convinced they are healthy on the inside, meaning no cancers, growths, cysts, or anything that needs to be excised by the precise hand of a qualified surgeon. But due to their wrong choices, false teachings and unwilling to repent, they fail to see that their sin that has so ensnared them is much worse than any physical ailment will ever be!
But the master made in very clear, that the sin must be cut off, right at the root, and put to death through repentance as He commanded, He made it clear what would happen IF the sins were not excised from the heart, cut out at the roots so it would not grow back.
The wages of sin is death, BUT the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ, who came to set the captives free, once and for all, asking all to repent, cut and cast the sin away with the strength of the great surgeon, who gives us all we need to bow to His throne casting away our sins that kept us in bondage!
Jesus will not do it for you, and He didn’t take your place on the surgeons table to become sin for you, He specifically commanded you to cut if off, pluck it out, and put it to death through repentance and faith proven by deeds.
The sin stops and is cut out, excised, and put to death in repentance,
Isa 1:16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes; cease to do evil;
We have our part to do in this process leading to purity, and God has His, as we come to Him purged, and cleared from sin and disobedience that once infested our mortal bodies, waiting to be cut out at the root, and put to death!
So when the false teachers tell you sin is a part of you, or is a substance inbred into you, and a disease handed down to you from Adam, and you just can never stop sinning, or even need to stop sinning to be saved or stay saved, remember the words of the master, who made it perfectly clear what WE in our own free will and ability MUST DO:
“Pluck it out, cut it off, and cast it from thee”!
This clearly defines what a qualified surgeon will do to remove cancer, and also clearly defines what we must to inherit eternal life!

Tommy4Christ! I dont know you but hope and pray you understand this:

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance!

God is no respector of persons, many think His blessings are a sign He is condoning our sins and worldliness, which He is not!

If you are still in bondage to sin, and love the world more than God, or are in a church that told you, you are saved because you said the sinners prayer, and accepted Jesus in your heart, without first repenting, and seeking His great mercy, then you are still double minded, and IN sin and worldliness, again I said I dont know you, but if this is you, out of love, I ask you to check your heart, seek His mercy through repentance, and know His great patients and long suffering wont last forever, and His blessings are not a sign you are right with Him, only a heart made pure through repentance and an obedient faith in love, following Jesus on the narrow road. Which is the crucified life!

Pro 1:24 Because I called, and you refused; I stretched out my hand, and no one paid attention; ​

Pro 1:25 but you have despised all my advice, and would have none of my warning.

Pro 1:26 I also will laugh at your trouble; I will mock when your fear comes;

Pro 1:27 when your fear comes as a wasting away and your ruin comes like a tempest when trouble and pain come upon you.
Pro 1:28 Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me;
Pro 1:29 instead they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of Jehovah.
Pro 1:30 They would have none of my counsel; they despised all my correction,
Pro 1:31 and they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own desires.
Pro 1:32 For the turning away of the simple kills them, and the ease of fools destroys them. ​

Pro 1:33 But whoever listens to me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear or evil.

Remember, repentance isnt a confession of your sins, but actually stopping them, before mercy can even begin to be granted, 2 Cor 7-10-11, Acts 3-19,Acts, 20-21, ISA 55-7.​

Tommy, I agree with some of your posts, however I am a bit confused with this one. Is the point of this post that the patient is the surgeon? Do you believe that repentance is wrought by the Holy Spirit, the result of grace working on a soul, and that salvation from sin is through Christ?
Acts 11:18- When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Eph 1:7- In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
