As you can see you disagree with Spencer W Kimball past LDS prophet he said "Perfection therefore is an achievable goal."
Just one more difference between Christianity & Mormonism!
There is NO FREE Gift For Mormons
Mormons MUST Be Perfect
Mormons MUST Stop All PRESENT Sin
Mormons MUST NOT Repeat Past Sin
Mormism is MISSION IMPOSIBLE!Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

...........According to one LDS prophet: "In his Sermon on the Mount he made the command to all men: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matt.5:48.) Being perfect means to triumph over sin. This is a mandate from the Lord. He is just and wise and kind. He would never require anything from his children which was not for their benefit and which was not attainable. Perfection therefore is an achievable goal."Remember it says "BE" not future tense become perfect, how are you NOW? Are you Triumphing? Are you perfect?==============================================================================
We strive to be perfect. Some come closer than others, but we all come short. It is an impossible goal. God knows that. It is to show us our shortcomings, our need for a Savior, who was perfect and took our place.
