Interpreting the Bible at face value seems most unwise.
You should probably assume it all is similes, or parables, or fables, or allegories.
The verses about giving your property, I think refer to one’s body. And giving your body to the poor i believe means which spirit somebody will cause to possess their body. Life or death.

For Christians, the Bible is the LAW of God and the instruction book to achieve eternal life (go to heaven).

Is that like a Benjamin Button kind of statement?

There is no way to verify a literal interpretation of the Bible.

You don't need to study the bible to get into heaven. You don't even need to go to church every Sunday. On a side note, you keep talking about perfection and when Jesus died on the cross, he did so due to our imperfections.

Your opinions don't change Jesus' words in the Bible. Period. You are just trying to relativize or question those words with your own "interpretation". When analyzing the literal words of the bible, the conclusion is that Jesus preached a communist perspective. Millions have said this before me, I'm simply bringing it forward.

Mine is not an opinion. I'm reading the LITERAL WORDS of Jesus in the Bible. Those who deny the literal meaning of these words are emitting opinions. I answered this like 20 times already....
