Matthew 5
20“For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
48“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
John 8
"34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin."
" 31 ...If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
"36So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. "
" 35The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
51Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.”

That's right.
So you better come to Jesus.
48“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
That's right. So you better come to Jesus and let Him make you perfect like the heavenly Father.
"36So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. "
" 35The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
51Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.”
That's right. So you better come to the Son that He may make you free indeed.
Is your reaction to withdraw from the Son?
Is your reaction to withdraw even from God, and using Jews for Judaism for help in doing that?
for all these tough saying, the answer is to come to Jesus Christ and let Him be Lord and Savior of your whole life.

The verses I cited from John 8 and Matthew 5 both point to the same thing: One must become righteous, i.e., no longer commit sin, in order to have eternal life / enter the kingdom.

I advocate for the gospel preached by Jesus during His ministry.
You advocate for a different gospel. You advocate for a gospel preached by others.

Come home to Jesus Christ ToO.
You'll truly find rest to your soul.
Just let Him subdue you.
Just let Him be Lord.
You will feel perfectly comfortable.
He IS the Lord. He is God.
If I could lose a hundred debates with you but lead you to Jesus Christ, I'd do it with no hesitation.
Seek the Lord while He can be found.
Call upon Him while He is near.
Today if you should hear His voice, do not harden your heart.
Just surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Debunk me 1,000 times.
But come to Jesus who so loves you.

Why do you ignore His command to believe on Him? Why do you not believe what He said of Himself?

Faith is nothing.
Love charity good works is what is required for eternal life in the kingdom of God.
Blessed are those who follow Christ and do his commandments...
