Tell me how a bible scholar such as yourself would interpret these passages then:

James 5:14- Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

Matthew 5:29- If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

Matthew 5:30- And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

Matthew 5:34- But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God

Matthew 5:39- But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matthew 5:42- Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

Matthew 6:6- But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:19- Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal

Luke 14:33- So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple

Face it, you are a sinner and are not welcome in God's kingdom.

Maybe you should do some honest and thorough research on those scriptures and figure it out. It can't be too hard, even a simpleton like me can understand it.
