Sermon on the Mount Interpretation
It thinks some parts of the teachings are general ideas and other parts are instructions. A person must follow the general ideas to be saved, but following the instructions is only need if the person is trying to be perfect. Most people only have to follow the ideas. The instructions only have to be followed by a very few holy few, for example, the clergy and monks. This view was created by St. Augustine. It was later changed by St. Thomas Aquinas.
