Least Commandments

Matthew 5
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Lust
-   Intense sexual desire.
-   An overwhelming desire or craving
-   Intense eagerness or enthusiasm
Matthew 5
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Attraction is natural for humans. Lets be honest about this. It is a sin when a man pursues a woman eventhough either or both of them are already committed. Adultery is a major sin. However if the man just looked at a woman and lusted after her, it is a sin but not a major sin. I mean how can you exist without your eyesight? Okay you become blind. The important things is you stop lusting and stay loyal to your loved one. To the men who looked at women without lusting, this sets a great example to people.
Matthew 18
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
It means like children, treat people with no malice.
Matthew 5
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
In the same way that killing is a major sin while it is a minor sin when you curse the corrupted people. For those who won't use curse words on corrupted people when criticizing, it is a great example to people. The punishment on those who killed is for the council to judge. 

Do not follow the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees who declares they are righteous but their words and actions denies it.
