Here I would like to share an example of real strong Christian faith that could inspire other faithful Christians and strengthen them on their difficult way.
A 46-year-old man ripped out his own eyeballs during a Sunday church service in northern Italy. We all perfectly know that this is according to worlds of Jesus, who says, "and if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell" (Mk. 9:47). This is a good example of real faith that only few of real Christians dear to implement. It is difficult to understand why the majority of so called Christians do not pay attention to this passage. Or they do not feel any temptation from their organs?
However, we should not lose our faith, there are other examples of true believers and probably we will see some of them also in the future.
A man in Lvov (Ukraine) has ripped off his eyes in hope that God will heal him. The guy was confident that God would return him vision back in some miraculous way. The doctors say that this man brought his eyes to the doctors in a plastic bag.
Please tell me if you have heard similar cases of such faith. I am very curious what is the reason these people do this?
And I would also like to note that Jesus was not so good in biology and psychology. The feelings do not initiate in your leg or your hand. Everything starts in your brain. So maybe this passage in the Scripture should be adjusted to something like this: "if your brain causes you to stumble, take it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God without brain than to have brain and be thrown into hell".
