So Jesus was speaking metaphorically?  He was teaching that faith was inert and contained in a set of rules?  Amazing.  Did he provide the complete list of rules?  If not, then how could he expect us to follow them?  Surely you are not now going to claim the aggregation of rules, rituals, traditions and rites developed by the catholic church over the past 1900 years or so are required for salvation and represent "faith"?  To do so would imply Jesus left behind an incomplete "faith".

By the way, the ten commandment story is a myth.  The Israelite picked up many of those rules from the Code of Hammurabi while they were in exile in Babylon, then added them to existing myths of the Exodus, thus creating the myth that is contained in the OT.
