To view it otherwise, would invite a person to be snared into thinking that seeks perfection as a reinvention of being righteous by the works of the law --the foolishness of the bewitched Galatians.

I said nothing about observing the law of Moses. Think of the "finished" or "complete" definition like this:
16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17: That the man of God may
be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim. 2:16-17
Paul defines it here in the sense of being completley furnished "unto all good works".
That would mean being able to do all the good works commanded us.
The scriptures are given that we may be perfect. Combined with the life of Yeshua in us through the Holy Spirit we are able to do the Lords will and be pleasing to him.
