Dave,

  I understand that in 1611 "perfect" meant what "complete" means today.
So, what if you re-read that verse in today's language?

If you have a Strong's dictionary, read the definition for "perfect" (greek 5046). After reading it, do you still think this is a commandment to be "perfect" as in "sinless", or, "without flaw"? If so, why?

DAVEH: If that is not possible, then why the commandment to do so? Mt 5:48........

*Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.*

.........Doesn't it seem odd to have a commandment that is not obtainable?
