Perfect - Counsel to the Perfect

Postby dreams » Fri Jan 02, 2004 6:59 pm

Meaning: This verse supported a Roman Catholic doctrine that only certain people (the perfect) were called to live in holy poverty. For others not so called (including most clergy) worldly wealth was to be enjoyed.

Matt 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
