there is no such thing as a " perfect Christian " or any other mortal for that matter as no one ever has been, is, or ever will be " perfect "
as long as they are mortal.

The Bible also tells us to be careful we do not think we are perfect, lest we fall.
My friend, I am a born again child of the Living God Jesus Christ but I am FAR from perfect, although its where I strive towards. There is no such thing as a perfect Christian. God also said there is not ONE righteous person on the earth, no, not one.
By grace we are saved. Amen.

No... All Christians are invited to be perfect... and we can be perfect... Our Goal is to become just like Jesus... But it's a thing that we won't achieve except in heaven... But we have to live trying...
You can only achieve it by starring to God...
2nd Corinthians 3:18 " But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Romans 8:29 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."

In the Bible - perfect means complete. We are complete with Jesus Christ - not perfect - as in perfection. We can never be perfect - we are sinners. Jesus Christ was the only perfect man who walked on this earth. Blessings.

The word 'perfect' here can be also translated as mature in faith.

I, for some reason feel very drawn to your questions. I would like to talk to you via im or e-mail. I believe in taking risks such as this. Would you consider it?
