Post Is sin living in your hand? Your eye? bradfreeman
If I cut off the offending body part, my whole body won't be cast into Hell.

Mat 5:27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Is it our physical body that is "cast into hell?"
Can we avoid hell by simply cutting off a body part or 2?
Does sin live in my hand?
Does sin live in my eye?

Paul seemed to think so:

Rom 7:17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

Paul says sin dwells "in me" and that "in me" means "in my flesh."
