What do you think of the Sermon on the Mount?
Do you think the world would be a far better place if all the Christians in the world followed it literally (except for eye gouging and hand chopping)?
Do you try to live by it always? How?
Would you agree that if these teachings were practised, Christian society would resemble Anarchist Communism?
If you don’t know it, it is in Matthew 5-7

Thank you, and God bless.
The Sermon on the Mount were the Laws of the NT.
This Sermon begins in Matthew 5:1. The laws Jesus says not one jot nor or tittle shall be changed were the Laws Jesus was about to speak beginning in Matthew 5:19.
Matthew 5:19 was the first Commandment given by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, followed by 77 more Commandments, the 2nd commandment is given in Matt 5:20, the 3rd commandment given by Jesus is given in Matt 5:22.
I have never had a need for Eye gouging, because I look toward the beauty of males and females in the same manner I look at the beauty of a flower growing wild and I have never had a need for hand chopping because I have never taken anything that was not mine.
I live by all 77 commandments given by Jesus and I am happy in my life.
The Commandments given by Jesus in Matthew 5:39 and Matthew 5:44 are the Commandments I use to live my life by, along with the Commandment in Matthew 6:14-15.
Yes, to live a life as Jesus commanded would be to live like a liberal socialist and to live for mammon would be like a conservative capitalist
I couldn’t hear, I was in the back.

Jesus and Sex
The CHRISTIAN Bible says:
Mat 1:18
This is the birth of Jesus: His mother Mary was PLEDGED TO BE MARRIED to Joseph, but BEFORE they had sex she was found to be with child through the Holy Ghost*
(*Holy Joe busted the Horny Virgin Mary 6 MONTHS into her pregnancy, she was barely a teenager)
==
The JEWISH Bible says:
Deut 22:23-25
If a man*
(*like God the Holy Ghost)
happens to meet in a town a virgin PLEDGED TO BE MARRIED*
(*like the Virgin Mary was to Holy Joe)
and he sleeps with her*
(*having sex. Like when God the Holy Ghost got Mary pregnant)
you shall… STONE THEM TO DEATH–the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help*
(*the Horny Virgin Mary didn’t hesitate at all to accept the indecent proposal of a perfect stranger, the virtual Holy Pimp Saint Gabriel, working on behalf of God the Holy Ghost. Any rapist would EXPECT the victim to scream for help)
and the man because he violated another man’s wife*.
(*that is what the Holy Ghost did to Mary. Both of them ought to have been stoned to death, including the Holy Fetus Jesus Christ, but relax, all ye Christian guys, in the Bible stories they NEVER catch the MAN)
Deut 23:2
A BASTARD*
(*SOB)
shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD…!*
(*except the BASTARD Jesus Christ, of course!)
==
Because of his SOB-BASTARD status Jesus Christ is NOT BULL CRAPPING about ruling the nations with a rod of iron, but only after Satan is locked up in Hell and can’t screw anybody any more (Rev12:5).
In God’s Kingdom, Jesus is favoring PROSTITUTES…!
Mat 21:31
Jesus said to them, "I tell you THE TRUTH*
(*no more bull crap!)
…the PROSTITUTES*
(*Jesus’ FRIENDS, including gay and Lesbian harlots)
are entering the Kingdom of God *
(*even before he had a chance to be crucified for anybody)
ahead of you*
(*straight Jews!)
Luke 7
[34]
(Jesus says) The Son of Man [is]… a FRIEND of Prostitutes.
[39]
(They said)…"If Jesus were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of PROSTITUTE she is.”
[45]
(Jesus says to the host guy) You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered*
(*a few hours ago)
has not stopped kissing my feet*
(*Jesus enjoyed her long treat)
[47]
Therefore, I tell you*
(*NO BULL CRAP!)
her many sins have been forgiven*
(*she wasn’t asking any of that! She loved to do it, maybe for a tip)
for she loved much*
(*she was good! So Jesus is skipping Purgatory for them. He is packing Heaven FULL OF THEM… I wonder if this trick still works!!!)
==
King Solomon alone had over 1,000 WIVES and sex slaves for his exclusive use here on Earth, but in Heaven he won’t settle for anything less than that!
Jesus spent most of his free time here on Earth at the pad of rich ladies (NOT MEN) serving his needs!
Luke 8:1-3
Jesus traveled from one town and village to another… and also SOME WOMEN… Mary (called Magdalene); Joanna… Susanna; and MANY OTHERS. These WOMEN were helping to support them out of their own means*
(*NOT GOD, but plain broads were using their own money on Jesus)
Mark 15:40-41
Some WOMEN… Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary… and Salome… these WOMEN had followed him and CARED FOR HIS NEEDS*
(*Jesus was womanizing non-stop. Would any Christian today support their Preacher when caught having HIS NEEDS cared by WOMEN?)
MANY other women*
(*many, MANY!!!)
who came up with Jesus… were also there*
(Jesus was not one bit nerdy!)
==
In a Bible story a young guy was having sex with his own mother, making the whole Church feel proud of them.
Saint Paul reprimanded ONLY THE KID, not anybody in the Clergy or his horny mom (1Cor5:1-2)
Jesus must have felt proud of the RIGHTEOUS Palestinian Prostitute Rahab (Heb11:31,Jam2:25), Ms Hosea (Hos3:2-3), Jephthah’s Mom (Judg11:1), and many other horny ladies.
Spending zillions of years in Heaven can be very boring without some hardcore entertainment.
…especially for Lot who became RIGHTEOUS getting drunk and having sex with his young virgin daughters, until he got them pregnant, or even Holy Noah who was partying drunk and naked with his young grandson Canaan.
A lot of Porno-Stars love Jesus!

Jesus said that NOBODY in Heaven will be married (except for THE LAMB); Prostitutes will be available to EVERYBODY!
Saint Paul prescribed UNMARRIED STATUS for men as a better way of pleasing God.
1 Cor 7:1-2
…It is good for a man NOT TO MARRY*
(*Saint Paul is moving away from any PURITAN idea about sex and marriage)
But since there is so much immorality*
(*especially in this “fully gifted” Church -1Cor1:7)
Each man SHOULD HAVE his own wife…*
(*it’s only a suggestion. Stop borrowing each other’s wife!)
References :
==
Except for divorce, Christian marriages are not FOR EVER, but “until death do us part” because the better half of the “2 becoming 1 flesh” may end up in Hell.
Mat 19:3-11
The disciples said to him*
(*to Jesus)
“If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is NOT GOOD TO MARRY”*
(*Jesus and Saint Paul agree!)
But he* (*Jesus) said unto them, ALL MEN CANNOT RECEIVE THIS SAYING, save they to whom it is given.*
(*To marry or not to marry, only the GIFTED CHRISTIAN would know)
The eye gouging and hand chopping were terms for REPENTANCE of sin, a guideline, and IF you can’t control yourself and it comes to that and sin because of it, you are far better off to do that than to go to Hell.

Well, the Sermon on the Mount that the Lord Yeshua/Jesus preached had no ‘eye gouging or hand chopping’ first off.
Instead it consisted of words such as: "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7).
Yes, I have often wondered if the world treated each other like many do at the time of the Roman church’s, ‘Mass of Christ’ or Christmas with feeding those that are hungry, clothing those that are without, giving love to those that they do not know, etc. how different the world would be.
If we actually loved one another and cared for one another as the Lord taught on that Mount we would live in a much different world.
Be Blessed:-D

It’s beautiful. People should follow it.

The eye-gouging and hand-chopping is also literal. Jesus was speaking rhetorically – which can and should most certainly be taken literally.
Does your eye cause you to sin? Does your hand cause you to sin? Really?
No – not really.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=james%201:15&multilayout=cols&version1=49&version2=9
Jesus was comparing the importance of (one’s love of) one’s eye or hand to sin, and pointing out that it would be better to lose something as precious as an eye or a hand than to retain sin – even the sin that is most precious to you.

I think Christ’s teachings can be summed up in The Sermon on The Mount.
If we threw out all of the man-made added trappings that all denominations
have built around themselves over the centuries, and simply stuck to the
ideals in this one Sermon, we would be practising the true teachings
of Jesus.
