The verse where JESUS said that whoever breaks the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called the least In heaven means ALL men under law would have come short of the glory of GOD,they all might delight In the law of GOD after the Inward man but there would have been another law In their flesh warring against the law of their minds bringing them Into captivity to the law of sin which was In their flesh and since GOD only will accept perfection,the part that says "least"means that the person that breaks the least commandment WON'T make It Into heaven.

Until the crucifixion of Christ, the Law of Moses was binding on all Jews. Christ was *made under the Law* meaning that He Himself would obey BOTH the letter and the spirit of the Law.
Therefore many sayings of the Lord Jesus Christ were applicable to the Jews of His day only. At the same time, the majority of the teachings of Christ have universal application, and Christians should be able to tell the difference. For example, since there is no temple and no Levitical priests, lepers do not go and show themselves to priests. The temple tax is no longer in effect. The temple tithe is no longer in effect. However, the Widow's Mite is a lesson in Christian giving. And the cleansing of the temple is a lesson for all churches today to drive out everything worldly and unholy from their churches.

When you become "sinless" in your flesh, then I'll be glad to jump off the entire state building. Oh wait.... at that time I will have wings and be able to fly, as I'll be as the angels.
Seriously, all this perfect, holy, and righteous, in reality... we ARE in Christ Jesus because we are in HIM, and in HIM is no sin. We cannot SIN b/c our lives are "hid in HIM"... This is a spiritual position of our lives; not a fleshly position. So we ARE perfect in HIM... Complete in ALL things, as the Word tells us.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
The other is just simple stating to strive for that perfection and holiness within our flesh. If you are a child of God, you will strive to be holy and acceptable to Him by presenting yourselves as a living sacrifice.
Nobody is mocking a Holy, Righteous, Perfect God! I think most people realize just how filthy they are in their carnal flesh and why we NEED JESUS!
Thank you YESHUA for your forgiveness, mercy, and grace that is renewed day by day.

Here's a few also worth mention.
How are we doing on our list?
Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
John 14:12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

Christ Instructed Keeping Passover on the 14th,
and [the Feast] of Unleavened Bread.
Why Do Christians Ignore Jesus' Teachings about the Lords Passover ?
Jesus said, “I will keep the Passover … with my disciples.”
Jesus gathered with His disciples the night He was betrayed
by Judas, it was indeed the Passover!
Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body,
which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye
are unleavened. For even [Christ] our passover is [sacrificed] for us:
Therefore let us [keep the feast]
and [the Feast] of Unleavened Bread.

Whoa, well said....
After Jesus' death, Peter went fishing. He still had his boat.
I make the mistake putting myself in the text, seeking to find the message; I believe throughout we should glean what we can for application. So I took the verses that contain giving away ALL his stuff, as a clear message that we should (but I haven't). But when I approach it from your angle, it becomes more apparent to study the full scope of all the scriptures, and to utilize them to examine our hearts and priorities, not to live a life of homelessness and starvation...
