I have never taken this passage as you contend, because never have I doubted that a christian cannot be lost. What bothers me with this chapter is that Jesus' same words are put in to Mathew 5:29-30. Mathew words it as "thy WHOLE BODY shall be cast into hell". We both know that our physical body does not travel to hell. I will do some more thinking on this. But I don't doubt my position ;-) God Bless. RF |
