I want to know who is also following Real christianity, and is not wicked. Our great Lord Jesus said in Matthew 5:47 when he was talking about the old law,...
"And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 BE PERFECT, THEREFORE, AS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT. Many say, every-one has sinned, and a sinner cannot enter the kingdom of heaven of God who is perfect, therefore accept Jesus into your life,. But I don't know whether they catch the point or not. How will Jesus redeem you? How will he make you fit to appear before God, I'd urge all men to look at Jude in it's entirety, and keep in mind that Godly men prefer the light, esp. Jude 24 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence 'without fault' ..., and he has said to establish the difference between faults and faultlessness who change the grace of God into a licence for immorality,? Who had become perfect'n gres

Matt 5:43 “YOU heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 However, I say to YOU: Continue to love YOUR enemies and to pray for those persecuting YOU; 45 that YOU may prove yourselves sons of YOUR Father who is in the heavens, since he makes his sun rise upon wicked people and good and makes it rain upon righteous people and unrighteous. 46 For if YOU love those loving YOU, what reward do YOU have? Are not also the tax collectors doing the same thing? 47 And if YOU greet YOUR brothers only, what extraordinary thing are YOU doing? Are not also the people of the nations doing the same thing? 48 YOU must accordingly be perfect, as YOUR heavenly Father is perfect.
This perfection Jesus is talking about is very specific, it is in showing love.
Are you showing love to all you meet?
Are you showing love even to your enemies?
Are you attacking people because they believe something you don't?
Granted we will never reach the level of perfection Jesus and Jehovah have, but that is not an excuse for not trying.

Have you read the bible in context? There are 66 books with a beginning middle and end. This is the main topic of almost all of the new testament after the four Gospels. If we could be perfect and keep GODs law then Jesus did not need to come and die and was not GOD in the flesh. That's just plain silly. I am perfect as I follow Jesus Christ and trust the Holy Spirit to point out my endless amount of imperfections and sins that can only be corrected with GOD's help. I am perfectly wanting to become like Jesus in my imperfect and corrupt fleshly body. I want to rid myself of all my sins and walk by the Spirit not the flesh. The standard is perfection. As long as I am short of that I need Jesus to save me. I am saved from getting what I deserve. I am Perfectly saved.
May GOD richly bless you.

I am Christian. However, I am not perfect. I would love to be. But, I'm human. I am only perfect in God's eyes by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. By that, I am redeemed and set free from the bondage of sin.

It pleases me to see people putting God's Word out there. I also follow Jesus (The one TRUE God). God says be ye holy as I am holy. We are to try our best to do that. We will not reach the point of true holiness until God brings us home. However, once we are saved Jesus' blood covers our sin and God no longer sees wickedness when He looks down on us. Have a good day and God Bless.

I really don't know what the question is, but I'm redeemed by His blood that was shed on the Cross. None of us are perfect on our own, but because we have Him in us, then we have His perfectness, His righteousness. That's how it's suppose to be. The book of Romans, chapter 6 explains how this is and how we're suppose to be, how we can walk in victory. People need to really understand Gal. 2: 20....I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ that lives in me. The life that I live now in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

Man can only be pefected through the blood of Christ jesus. It is His perfection only that will allow man to be seen without fault. We are and will remain as filthy rags in the sight of God if we try and rely on our own righteousness.

The blood of Jesus makes us perfect in the eyes of God.

The longer we walk with Jesus the more we will conform to his image. My Dad has not sinned once in over 30 years!

We are all works in progress. Even Paul said he had not gained perfection, but he pressed on toward the goal.
