Like you, seeking peace, the hatred of people that this sick individual spreads continues to bug me. This Pontius "Liz" Pious has twisted the meaning of the quoted scripture so as to make it unrecognizable. I am not a believer, but for believers, she is absolutely toxic, a contagion, an illness.
A couple of the comments "gently" try to redirect her, but she guards her infection. For believers, here is some medicine to help shed any illusion that she may have a point:
http://www.biblestudying.net/charismatic33.html---Excerpt:
"Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
"Why does Jesus say, "the light of the body is the eye" in the midst of a statement about money and provision? It is clear that the inclusion of this statement about what the eye looks at in the midst of a discussion about money and material goods is meant to refer to seeing material things and wanting to acquire them. Jesus is warning his disciples about the appeal of material things, how they can attract the eyes, capture our attention and our desires, and before you know it we're being distracted by the desire to accumulate material items that we have seen and liked."
"That this is Jesus' intent is evidenced by verse 24. In verse 24, after warning his disciples about the how what they eye focuses on can corrupt a person Jesus tells his disciples that it is not possible to serve two masters. He even names the masters, God and mammon. Mammon is a Greek word (Strong's No. 3126) of Aramaic origin, which simply refers to treasure or riches, whether personified as a god or simply as actual material wealth. So, Jesus warns his disciples about what the eye focuses on and then tells them that they cannot serve both God and treasure. This means that anyone who pursues treasure will not be able to serve God, but will end up despising God because his eyes will focus on and seek after treasure."
