Absolute truth. The fact is Jesus did reveal the highest and humanly unattainable standards in His life and words about the ten commandments. I am always amazed at how people believe they live up to the 10 Commandments without full knowledge of the actual fulfillment and requirements entailed in them by Jesus' life and revelation. The fact is we cannot of our own accord achieve any measure of worthiness.
