Should you Cut your hands that makes you sin? : Matthew 18:8-9 Expl...

Cutting Your Hands is mentioned in Matthew 18:8-9. It says to cut it off it causes you to sin. Should you? Is that really what God is trying to tell us?

All Christians use the Holy Bible as their guide, and I also believe that it is essential for all who worship Christ as their savior. Although the Bible serves as our guide for how we live, some Christians and non-Christians alike question certain content within it, deeming it difficult or even ridiculous

One example is cutting parts of your body if you sin, so that you can enter Heaven.

Matthew 18:8-9
8 “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.
