Good luck with that....I remember Jesus saying something about the blind and the leaders of the blind both falling into the ditch.........I have yet to see one legalistic Pharisee and or worker for be able to....

By the way, I just looked it up. Scofield and his references concerning the sermon on the mount seem to have been abused by certain people. I have found a few people took part of his reference (where he states the law aspect of the sermon is not applicable to the church, and should never be taken this way, because by the law no man was saved) yet did not show where he said the jews should have seen this aspect and a means to point them to christ, but they failed in using the law in this way, And that the sermons. On the mount DOES apply to the church, as a beautiful moral aspect. In that the poor in spirit is blessed, that those who are convicted of their sins and are meek WILL seek after righteousness, That those who hunger will be filled. Those who who show mercy will be blessed, and those who become pure in heart will see God, etc etc.
It is just a pure example of how people will twist and turn what people say, Cut out parts of what they said and only use th part which appears to support their view. And people all over the world will see their write up, and think EVERYONE believes that way, when in fact, they have followed a false teacher who is slandering a group of people he disagrees with. Most likely because his view, when scrutinized, would fail under pressure.
One could easily see Scofield (many call the father of dispensationalsim) saying the sermon does nto apply to us, if they only read one point he made, and totally ignore the rest of what he said.

Greeting eternally-gratefull,
Amen, you hold to the Sermon on the mount and Jesus's wisdom and life expressed there,
Amen, and amen.
As a believer filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus's words will refine us and remake us, through
the washing of His blood, and obedience to His commands.
Amen, that as a wise follower, Jesus words will dwell in your heart for eternity.
It sounds like we are in agreement with the sermon on the mount, praise the Lord.
What matters to me, is not where people were in the past, but where the Lord has
led them today. I cannot tell you how important, and foundational all Jesus's words
are to me, because in them I have found life, and anyone who has equally found this
I will rejoice with.
Peace and grace to you in Christ Jesus, Amen.
