First of all, the situation with Jesus has nothing to do with our disagreement. He was perfect and I accept this through faith, based upon the testimony of those who knew Him and the revelations that comes from the Spirit of God.
I do not recall Jesus claiming to be "perfect." No one criticized Jesus for that claim -- rather for the claim to (for example ) be the Son of God, making Himself equal to God.
Our dispute on this issue is about present-day disciples claiming to have the Power to live a life that finds them actually perfect in terms of what they do and think. I reject that claim. I care not to make this point of disagreement larger than that.

The worst sinners of Jesus day were convinced that Jesus was a sinner. That's why they killed him as a criminal. Most sinners believe everyone else is a sinner, and anyone who would claim otherwise is a liar and arrogant and a worse sinner than they are. This is exactly the attitude they took toward Jesus and his disciples. Peace be with you.
