This verse means that if there is something in a person's life that causes the person to sin or sway from the will of God, the person should let it go, even if it seems difficult. The difficulty or the pain in letting go of that sin is what is compared to gouging the eye out and throwing it away. It will be very painful to gouge out your eye. So it is better to let go of that sin which is so pleasing, suffer on earth for a short time and enjoy in heaven eternally than to stay in that sin, enjoy on earth for a short time and burn in hell eternally.

Rasek [7]

The Provisional Government chose to keep Russian troops involved in WW1 after the Russian revolution (1917) because, having made promises to its allies in 1914, believed they should honor them.

This resolution ultimately proved fatal. In June 1917, the Provisional Government ordered an attack on Austria, which failed. After that, people started to turn against the government. By the end of July 1917, the Provisional Government was almost powerless.

According to Madison, why are governments necessary?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer: According to Madison, government is necessary because: "a world without government would be nothing less than a war of all against all." "if men were angels, no governments would be necessary." ... In a direct democracy, the people are the government and all decisions are made by the people directly.“The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government.” And that leads to “the division of society into different interests and parties.”

hope this helps have a nice day❤️
