I spoke about claiming to be perfect, not claiming to be sinless. If a person claims to be perfect, he is setting himself up for a fall. That is not the same thing as saying that you have not sinned. If you say that I sinned yesterday, I can freely say that I did not sin yesterday, and I might ask you to explain why you said that and to show me my sin.

Furthermore, you yourself say that we should not judge such things, so why do you now think you are God and can judge who is perfect like God? Do you see God perfectly and clearly? If not, there is no way you can judge who is perfect unless God tells you. You can't even discern if Jesus is perfect, except that God the Father testifies to you that he is. If you are humble about this, the truth is that you cannot discern perfection and you do not know who is or who is not perfect.

I would join them today if perfection comes through doing that. However, the way I read my Bible, perfection comes through faith in Jesus Christ. I wonder what you think about the rich young ruler who wanted eternal life. Jesus said that if he wanted to be perfect, he needed to sell all that he had and follow Jesus. If the rich young ruler did that, would he have been perfect? Peace be with you.
