ANSWER: [Brother Anderson] High standards do not equate to righteousness. The Pharisees held up high standards and Christ condemned them for their wickedness. The Prophet Mohammed held up some high standards in the Qu'ran. Did his high standards prove him to be a prophet of God?

It is just as wrong to go beyond the Word of God and place unnecessary restrictions upon people as it is to fail to meet the requirements of God.
