(Mark 9:43 “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched.

Strongs:

G762 asbestos as'-bes-tos

from G1 (as a negative particle) and a derivative of G4570;

not extinguished, i.e. (by implication) perpetual.

KJV: not to be quenched, unquenchable.
--------------------

This is asbestos I can do for the time being :giggle:

Yes it is Jesus and he is laying bare the truth that we are to cut from our lives those things which cause us to offend or sin....do what is necessary.....he does not mean to literally remove our hand or eye....he is symbolically speaking......and obviously only those that die without the blood of Christ applied by faith will end up suffering eternal death.......just the jist.....

What do you think?

Again, you only need to do a "search" of Mark 9:43 commentary.....and you will find many discussions about this and what its true meaning is.

You joined CC in May of 2017, but only have 13 posts total. Is this Screen Name a secondary one that you have resurrected for some reason? Just wondering. What is your other Screen Name(s)?

Why do you ask these questions? :unsure: What is it you really want to know? :unsure:

Mark 9:42-48 King James Version (KJV)
42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Yes, it is definitely Yeshua/Jesus talking.....or warning us about something......:unsure:

It sounds like He is warning us about being "double minded".......:unsure:

Hands = our works
Feet = who we follow; where we go
Eye = what we desire; our focus; our attention


Yeshua/Jesus wants us to make a decision. We either do His Works, follow Him and desire the Father's Will or we don't and have no part in the Kingdom of God because the worm dieth (never becoming a butterfly) and the fire is not quenched ........ regret and the pain and sorrow of not choosing God's Will for us is forever.

Okay, "EVERYBODY OFF THE FENCE!! RIGHT NOW!!!" Hurry! He's due back any day! :love:(y)
