Sure you can. Jesus specifically pointed out those two examples in fact, demonstrating what you say cannot be done can in fact be done and in fact is all too common.
Also, James 2:10 comes into play. |
Jesus by no means was explaining that people were hypocrites if they outwardly did not commit adultery and inwardly were, when he made reference to those commandments, let alone say their outward fidelity meant nothing. The Bible simply never treated moral virtues like that. He simply noted that His commandments, in contrast to the Ten, were beyond what these were. There was nothing about
hypocrisy in the context. He was teaching about fulfilling the Law.
