"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" Matthew 5:48
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them..." Matthew 7:12
"...Because strait is the gate: and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:14
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say unto me, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in the name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:22-23
Why do you insist you cannot be perfect when Jesus calls upon you to be perfect, & warns you that few will find the narrow way, & warns you that many who believe themselves "christian" will be rejected?
Would you gainsay Jesus to soothe your ego?
