Unveiling Matthew 5:27-30: Literal Truth or Hyperbolic Warning? (Did Jesus Teach People to Literally Pluck Their Eyes Out and Cut Their Hands Off?)
In this passage, Jesus’ challenging words about extreme measures to avoid sin are explored. Some interpret his words as hyperbole, but the lack of clear markers makes this interpretation questionable. Instead, the focus should be on understanding the seriousness of sin and the need for genuine repentance and confession to avoid dire consequences.
