If the Salt loses it's Saltiness...

Matthew 5:13 - (Jesus speaking)

"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteles, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men."



In her study guide to Matthew, Kaye Arthur implies that this verse is an example of irony, because it is impossible for salt to lose it's saltiness . . . or is it?



Upon investigating this salt issue, I ran across an interesting web site you might enjoy:

Also this link: http://deneenwhite.com/2007/01/06/how-does-salt-lose-its-saltiness/ which is really just a blog post has some interesting things to say.
