Simple Truths will correct the human beliefs by Michael Aleph |
![]() Matthew 6:22,23 International Standard Version (ISV) 22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore, if the light within you has turned into darkness, how great is that darkness!" Jesus did not know that the work of eyes was one of the input organs for the brains to recognize. It seems that he did not see the existence of the minds of its functions. Some people may still think that their eyes are seeing and recognizing. But the eyes cannot understand. Information from the eyes go to the brains, and the minds appreciate it. The eye is similar to a camera lens. The image on the retina goes into an electrical signal that moves to the brains. The brain stores a vast amount of information input from the five senses. Brains compare information from the eyes with the storage in the minds. And the brain determines what you are looking at. The eye corresponding to the lens of the camera cannot be evil. There are people with poor vision, people with presbyopia, and people with color blindness. Some people are with a low view or some who cannot see by their eyes at all. Expressing that the eyes are evil is lacking consideration and understanding for the visually handicapped. The eyes were considered to be a light of the body because there was no such knowledge. Now, the eye is one of the input organs to the brains by the five senses, and there 's no reason that the eye is evil. There is a high possibility that the information input through eyes affects the brains to make people selfish and greedy and to develop into crimes such as sexual assaults. What Jesus wanted to say would be that the information entered through eyes can have a profound effect on people, even the entire body. To express the intent of Jesus in a modern way, it would be "Beware that information from your eyes will affect your brains and emotions. Protect your heart." |
