Jesus is warning people to remove all obstacles to the Kingdom of God. I know its contrary to OSAS Christianity... which is just profess your faith and believe in your heart and then Jesus does the rest. Unfortunately for these Christians Jesus said no such thing.
Jesus said it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO AVOID SIN AT ALL COSTS. Its not His.. simple. .. ie a simple but effective slap in the face for that OSAS doctrine

If we are to blow our own heads off if our mind makes us sin; how many believe that? Maybe I could start a small business selling shoulder-mounted, sawed-off shotguns. With a pull string. Literal interpreters of the verse would buy 'em like hotcakes. Wherever you are, walking down the city streets or whatever. As soon as you catch your eyes wandering over to the girl in the red dress--pull the cord. *boom*
Crazy, huh? Or is it?
"For if you live according to the flesh, you must die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live." (Romans 8:13)
"Or are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
We have been buried therefore with Him through baptism into His death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life." (Rom. 6:3,4)
" Lord Jesus, You know that I am about to sin in this thing. Lord I am tempted. But Lord Jesus You know that I have been CRUCIFIED with You. Thankyou Lord. I have been BURIED with You. Lord Jesus my bad habit has been put to death by YOUR crucifixion on the cross. Thankyou Lord for killing off my sinning with your wonderful terminating death.
Thankyou Lord I, with You, am raised to walk in newness of spiritual life. Amen."

Don't gouge out your eye.
Don't take a chain saw to your foot.
Learn with Paul that you have been crucified with Christ.
Learn that in the Spirit of Christ is the mighty killing off power of His terminating death.
Member by member, by the Holy Spirit, put to death the practices of the body.
This is a cutting out of the motive because you TAKE J ...[text shortened]... t is precisely what God wants. He only wants Jesus and He is only satisfied with His Son Jesus.

Originally posted by @sonshipHalf of matthew 18:8 is literal and half is metaphorical, is that what you are saying?
I think it has a non-literal element in it.
It is literal in its suggestion that the route cause of one's sinning should be dealt with a seriousness at any cost for the kingdom of the heavens. That is not metaphorical.
