The Second Example of Perfectionism
In Matthew five verses 17 and 18, jesus establishes the significance of the law. He doesn't minimize it or diminish its importance. In verse 20 he lays the sledge hammer to perfectionism when he says that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. The message is clear. One cannot obtain perfection by minimizing their sin, or by ignoring it,. By looking the other way, or teaching others to do likewise.
