Matthew 5:47-49
And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? you therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect
While attending a friends church, I noticed that they treated this passage like it was "good news" to hear.
The sermon then went on to state many and various things the Christian could do to emulate perfection.
Do you think this verse is The Gospel? And, is being demanded to "be perfect" by Jesus a good thing?
