That no one, even Christians can go 100% by the Bible.
Do you think that this is true? If I insult any of them, the only thing that would come back 100% of the time is an insult.
Even the preacher would hate you back depending on the insult.
I thought that in the Bible, anything like hate, rage, revenge, violence, greed etc. is considered a sin. I think that nobody, not even Christians can live without fulfilling these desires.
Because so far, I haven't seen anyone that was able to resist this.
Jesus is a different story.
I mean the average people(followers of Jesus=Christianity).

Do you agree or disagree?
Why? Were you able to?

The most spiritual, most loving people I have ever met in my life, were not Christian. That to me says a lot about Christianity.

It is my understanding that all Christians know that they cannot keep the Bible 100%. I am a Christian and I would not dare claim that. The Bible tells us directly and clearly that no one can keep the Bible perfectly, except for Jesus Christ. Since it is definitely what the Bible says, what I believe, and what I teach to others, I cannot imagine getting angry at someone for agreeing.

The Bible does not ask us to be perfect.
It does encourage us to strive toward perfection.
But being a reasonable book, it knows we will fall short.
Ah! But for what reason do we fall short?
Is it because we've sincerely tried hard and imperfection has tripped us up?
OR
Is it because we have not really tried to hard and get a bit of delight in zinging others?
God wants to see sincere effort, not necessarily perfection.

If one could 100% follow God's teachings, thus be sinless, Jesus would not have needed to come and die for us eh?
Here's the thing, "All sin and fall short of the glory of God"
All means All.

Does one have to get 100% correct to pass a test? Did Christ get 100% on 'his test', so we can learn from him; even if 'we' make mistakes currrently?

I completely agree. No one save Christ can live up to Gods law. No one can hold them all. Thankfully, Christ did. Thankfully, when I do fall sort of the glory of God, I have a redeemer in Christ, that through his sacrifice for me, I'm forgiven.

Just because you confess to be a follower of Jesus, doesn't make it true.
You need to raise your bar of standards.
