Phil, stop trying to pl;ay gotcha. Yhe passage you cite was a scene among Jews while Jesus was still offering the Kingdom to begin had they accepted Him. Under JEWISH strictures, if one could keep the commandments without failing in even one ... well, you know that line of reasoning, we have shared it with you several times. Do you think the young man could keep all the commandments? The way you answer that will reveal a lot of what is causing you to stumble, spiritually.

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Ephesians 5:1
Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

And there are many, many other related texts.

Inverting a well worn phrase of the 70’s and 80’s: “I subscribe to it just for the articles.”; I am scrolling thru all of this na-na-na-na-na-nah stuff, just for the pictures.
