Elder Walter F. Gonzalez in October of 2007 commented on this teaching that also appears in Mark chapter 9. It's not about self-mutilation, but rather about removing from our lives today those influences that keep us from preparing for tomorrow's times of adversity. If I have friends who are bad influences for me, the advice is clear. It is better for thee to enter into life without thy brother than for thee and thy brother to be cast into hell.
Who is our neighbor? Dr. Krystal V. L. Pierce examines the Lord’s command to forgive, to take care of every one of our brothers and sisters, and how to prepare the world for the Lord’s Second Coming.
