Since Christians are so adement about the fact that Jesus was 'perfect' thus he must be God...Does that mean that Noah,Abraham and all the other 'perfect' people are God?
They are examples of people that was able to follow God's ways And that was before Jesus was borne.
Now why can't I be capable of that if I follow the 'right path'?
Please note that Noah and Abraham was 'perfect' before the Torah came!
Jesus himself said that there is no rightous man like John the Baptist. This was before Jesus' 'sacrifice'.

Noah and Abraham were not "perfect before God" in righteousness, but in obedience. There is a difference.
About John... Jesus also said that the least in the Kingdom of God was greater than John the Baptist, as great as John was...

The only perfect humans were Adam and Eve.However,after their act of disobedience,they condemned all men to death-Rom.5:12.Because of their sin,they passed on that imperfection to all their offspring,including Noah and Abraham.
Jesus and the angels were also created perfect.
Being a perfect creation,does not automatically make them gods.
Jesus was referred to as 'god' in the scriptures.But he is not Almighty God.There is only one true God and His name is Jehovah.He is Almighty God.
Being righteous and obedient to God's laws and ways,does not make one perfect.Only by exercising faith in the ransom sacrifice of Christ Jesus can we ever hope to have our sins forgiven and enjoy a close relationship with our Heavenly Father,Jehovah God who holds out a wonderful promise to those who remain faithful and obedient.And that is the promise of a restored paradise earth and everlasting life.-Ps.37:9-11,29;Pr.2:21

In Romans 3:23 Paul tells us, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." In Romans 3:10 as it is written, "There is none righteous, no not one."
So no-one was perfect, we are all born into sin, the human heart is decieptful above all else we are told in Proverbs.
You are making us half remembered bits but you are not quoting scripture. No one has been perfect that is why Christ came as after the fall all men were born into sin. Christ alone is perfect.

Jesus was perfect in the sense that He was without sin. Moses, Abe and David were all sinner, like you and me.
