I always thought of this verse ,if it offends the body then pluck it out, or if it's your hand cut it ,better to enter heaven without it, well I felt like he meant a disease part of your body like cancer or like cutting your leg or other part off if it had gangrene,. Because the vanity of man or women ,would rather die with the limb or eye intact. I didn't even consider your explanation, I guess cause I knew a man who had gangrene in his foot ,and could still be alive if he had it cut off, instead he died 3 weeks later. When he said offends the body, he didn't say offend the Lord, he said your body ,to me a disease or burden to your body offends your body and health. Am I wrong, made me think. Thanks Lois Stewart
