(48) The conclusion to the true interpretation of the law: be perfect.
“Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
Therefore you shall be perfect: If a man could live the way Jesus has told us to in this chapter, he would truly be perfect.

· He would never hate, slander or speak evil of another person.
· He would never lust in his heart or mind, and not covet anything.
· He would never make a false oath, and always be completely truthful.
· He would let God defend his personal rights, and not take it upon himself to defend those rights.
· He would always love his neighbors, and even his enemies.
Just as your Father in heaven is perfect: If a man could keep just what Jesus said here, he would truly have a righteousness greater than the scribes and the Pharisees (Matthew 5:20), the very thing we must have to enter into God’s Kingdom. But there is only one man who has lived like this: Jesus Christ. What about the rest of us? Are we left out of the Kingdom of God?
“Jesus is saying that the true direction in which the law has always pointed is not towards mere judicial restraints, concessions rising out of the hardness of men’s hearts…nor even to the ‘law of love’…No, it pointed to all the perfection of God, exemplified by the authoritative interpretation of the law.” (Carson)
We see that in this section Jesus was not primarily seeking to show what God requires of the Christian in his daily life. True, Jesus has revealed God’s ultimate standard, and we must take it to heart. But His primary intent was to say, “If you want to be righteous by the law, you must keep the whole law, internal and external – that is, you must be perfect.”
Jesus has demonstrated that we need a righteousness that is apart from the law (Romans 3:21-22). As Paul put it in Romans 3:21-22: But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.
What is our current relation to the law, as truly interpreted? We are exposed as guilty sinners who can never make ourselves righteous by doing good works – which was exactly the view held by most people in Jesus’ day, and in our own day.
Finally, when it comes to understanding the interpretation and the demands of the law, we do well to remember another aspect of Jesus’ teaching on the law: in focusing on the command to love God and our neighbor, we will rightly understand the demands and details of the law (Matthew 22:37-40). The Apostle Paul wrote much the same thing: Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith. (1 Timothy 1:5)

Got it now CULTISTrsvp??? Now readers this is when it gets really weird in his copy and paste below, at the end of the carson rant -
Quote - 'The Apostle Paul wrote much the same thing: Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith. (1 Timothy 1:5)'
Did you catch it readers? CULTISTrsvp claims from his carson rant, that the end times SAINTS will NOT be able to 'love from a pure heart' and 'from a good conscience' and having 'sincere faith' that CLEARLY Timothy writes about the SAINTS! According to CULTISTrsvp and tinyfaithdavid, they will keep sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting until the cows come home AND even when those cows come home they will KEEP ON SINNING - THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN , until they are changed in ROBOTS that cannot CHOOSE TO SIN!!! The 'saints' according to these two CLOWNS will one day NEVER have the ABILITY to choose to sin ever again! LOL! What false teachers!!!

The TeddyBug makes fun of people who obey the Lords command to confess our sins daily.
He falsely accuses them of wanting to sin.
Since the TeddyBug has changed the biblical meaning of the word “sin”, he can now claim to be sinless like Jesus.
But the Bible is clear that NO ONE is sinless like Jesus.
Sadly the disobedient and sinful TeddyBug embraces a false doctrine that allows him to reclassify sin so he can keep on sinning while falsely claiming that God has made him sinless.

absolutely bro David
1 John 1:8, “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.”
1 John 2:1, “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
Notice that John the apostle includes himself in the issue of sinning. Are the sinless perfectionist people more holy than John the apostle? I think not ❗❗😉
