Re: Hard Sayings of The Bible... What say ya'?

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

(Matthew 6:14)

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

(Matthew 6:15)

Are there other "hard sayings" that you can think of?

Romans 9:10-25

10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one , even by our father Isaac;11 (For the children being not yet born , neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand , not of works, but of him that calleth 12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.13As it is written , Jacob have I loved , but Esau have I hated . 14What shall we say then ? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid . 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy , and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion . 16 So then it is not of him that willeth , nor of him that runneth , but of God that sheweth mercy . 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up , that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth . 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault ? For who hath resisted his will?20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God ? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known , endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,24Even us, whom he hath called , not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Re: Hard Sayings of The Bible... What say ya'?

If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matt. 16:24-5)

Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men. (Mark 1:17)

I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. (John 8:12)

Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead. (Matt. 8:22)

If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. (John 8:31)

The first six verses of Hebrews chapter six.

Really, really hard saying. Not sure I fully comprehend it all.

Re: Hard Sayings of The Bible... What say ya'?

Which type of "hard" is the issue, here? Hard to obey, or hard to understand? Or both?

Well, it started as "hard to obey..."

Is it really only about feet?
Nope; they are a metaphor, methinks.

But all those pale, in a sense, up next to the ones that--it ends up being-- others will judge us for:

How about the verse(s) that essentially say
"If you aren't willing to put Christ before family, and COUNTRY, etc..."

Yes...a metaphor.
