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

Joh 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

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

Looks like I'm gonna' have to alter this thread to get any responses. Let's see.....

"I heard that a (oops I forgot....) prominent preacher from Memphis said there were some hard sayings!!!" Reckon that will get it going?

What I'm really "thinkin'" about are those scriptures that when looked at from the human, fleshly aspect, and taking into consideration the day in which we live are "hard sayings!"

Any takers?

That's some pretty tough stuff.

That's what I was looking for.

How about this? Ro 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

One of the greatest titles of a message that I've ever heard...

"What if Jesus really meant what he said?"

If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

(John 13:14)


Is it really only about feet?
