Sean, when someone says their headache is killing them, they are not lying just because they are not actually dying. They are using hyperbole, AND YOU USED IT TOO! You KNOW you said things like that. You never intended anyone to think you are actually dying and will have a funeral as the result of your headache. You KNEW the people would not think you were dying. THAT IS HYPERBOLE. It is saying something that you knwo nobody will take literally, but it drives home a point of how bad your headache is. That's all. It's not lying, no one is deceived by it, but it is a linguistic method of emphasizing your pain, the case of a headache..

That is how serious that Jesus is about hell. Having our offending body parts removed is the alternative to hell.
Oh, thats right, Jesus was exaggerating....LOL
