With duty come responsibilities. Moreover the word here represented as 'perfect' is teleios, which means fully developed. This saying applies to individuals who wish to be complete. What it means for the church to be fully developed is not clear from this passage. You're taking Jesus' advice to individual's and applying it to something that is not an individual. What would it mean for the church to have "treasure in heaven?" You've taken Jesus' advice to one thing and applied it to another. It doesn't work that way.
Do recall that I think jesus is divine horseshit from the word go and the fucking church is the biggest bunch of hypocrites in the long sorry history of hypocrisy.
Noted. As is the irrelevance of your complaint to the question of whether the church has a moral obligation to dispossess itself of its wealth.
