Maybe you are interpreting those verses differently than I am. No one keeps the commandments perfectly. If keeping the commandments is what you think will get you into Heaven, so be it. You better never make a mistake. I do not agree with that. Again, perhaps we will have an eternal disagreement on that. I am OK with that. You are free to believe whatever you like. I may not agree with your interpretation, but you can think whatever you like.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

First John, Catholic chapter two, Protestant verses three to five,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

Can you personally keep these 100% of the time and to the level that Christ elevated these?

Have you ever lusted in your heart/mind? Ever?

A simple yes or no are the only two choices.
