If your eyes and hands can't cause you to sin, then why does Jesus even bring it up.


Because of the severity of the act. Your eyes and your hands are arguably the most vital (external) parts of your body. Also, they are the parts of your body that, if you are inclined towards sin, you are likely to use in the act of sinning.

He is probably best-known for his allegorical method of interpretation. But in his early days, he tended to follow a more literal approach. As a result, when he interpreted Matthew 19:12, he resolved to emasculate himself, and did. Later on -- I vaguely recall -- he regarded his act as rash.

SW: ... "Wouldnt it be better for him to do as Jesus says and pluck out his eyes?"

No; I don't think so. That would be like swiping a cobweb, when what should really be done is to squish the spider. Meaning that the physical body parts are not the problem; the problem resides within the individual's nature, which needs to be transformed/renewed.
