No, they would rather shave a hooker's head and then marry her.
1 Corinthians 11:5-15
New International Version
5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
7 A man ought not to cover his head,[a] since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[b] head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

Might as well throw your brain out too if that is the case! 🤦
Modern Christians don't practice what the Bible tells them to. Most haven't even read the damn thing in full
It could be symbolic such as spiritual eye or spiritual hand

No. I wouldn't cut my arm off either.
St Paul wrote about the lunacy of extreme legalism - what Christ is speaking about here. He said about insisting on circumcision by one of the early churches that he wished they would just go ahead and castrate themselves. The act is meaningless.
Similarly, the consequence of our sin - death - was born by Jesus Himself in His sacrifice on the Cross. When Jesus said about plucking out our eyes etc is it possible that He had a twinkle in His eye and a tone of voice that was saying how ridiculous the attempt to keep the Law was? Could this individual who was called a "winebibber" and hung out with hookers and tax collectors - who actually *wanted*to be around Him - have been so condemning?
I'd seriously doubt it.
The Christ I follow is the embodiment of Love, and a Love far beyond anything I'm capable of.
And incidentally, my eyes tend to be where sin starts for me. Especially in the summer.
But I've never, ever felt God wanted me to blind myself. Just to take my thought life captive and submit it to Christ.It's hyperbole. Jesus used that language to let us know it's a serious matter. It means cutting off our ability to do something if it leads to sin, like having our phone with us all the time without any blockers so that we can access porn easily.
i think what they were saying is that hell sucks so bad you can't imagine it more so then doing self mutilation.
No. Jesus is teaching you better do whatever you can to avoid sinning against Him.
If you have to go blind then that's better than to be thrown into hell fire with both eyes.No i need my eyes. Just need to control them better
why would I?
JESUS CHRIST REDEEMED ALL SINS
all I have to do is accept the offerChristians love to cherry pick.
No, that's not the meaning.
