that is why Jesus was sent to us..........I may not have found Jesus, but he is the only religon that makes sense to me. In my own way....the way the christians teach it, I want to be Jewish and the fact that I only found the God of Isreal.
this is my own faith......
I found the teachings of Jesus wise. I found the churchs teachings evil and dumb. No one is aloud to be perfect, they say to me. That is why we need a messiah and sin is always in this world defeating all the time. We always fall to solom and glammora.
Jesus teachs me that I wanted everyone perfect, that is why they fall short to the glory of God....no one searches my hand for perfection. That is why I died for them.

Every one falls short of the glory of God because of sin. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God." I am glad you appreciate the teachings of Jesus, now read Romans 6:23 . Also read the Bible carefully and think about what you read. The word for perfect in the Bible pertaining to anyone other than Christ doesn't mean sinless.

You fall short because of sin.
" for all sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom.3:23)
You don't "find" Jesus, like He is hiding, He finds you. God the Father draws those who are called to Christ, we don't come on our own. Are you aware that most of the early Church was Jewish? Are you aware that most of the New Testament writers were Jewish? Did you know the God of Israel, is also the God of the Church, the triune God?
I suggest you do some serious study into the writings of Paul and perhaps the book of Hebrews. It may change your perspective.

People fall short of the Glory of God because God begins from the idea that we are perfect, worth everything to it, worth the best it possesses, even if we do not have the capacity to accept such.
In other words, God's glory doesn't begin from the premise that people fall short; it is believing that we (and the others around us) fall short that keeps us from it.
Why did Jesus seek out fishermen, tax collectors, prostitutes and such to give his message? Answer thus and you will be closer to finding what you are looking for.

Our perfection is only in Jesus Christ. God sees us through him and without that we'd be like everyone else. We are not perfect on our own because we are incapable of perfection. Our good works have no merit before God. But through the power of the Holy Spirit, who was sent of God, our good works are provoked. We are to strive for perfection but know that we will not always attain it. When we don't, confess our sins and keep striving. See Philippians 3

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
so to answer your question we all fall short of the Glory of God because we all have sinned, at least 1 time.
Romans 3:10-12
As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
also my suggestion to u is not to lean on your own understanding and to only trust in what God has actually said in The Bible.

Grace (not law) unto you, and peace (not division),
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus -> Christ.
It's very sad that you've been turned off by the X-ians.
Their bumper stickers say: we're not perfect, just saved.
The Holy Bible says: you're not just saved, but perfected.
Only condition of Abrahamic covenant was "be perfect".
Higher exhortation in Matthew 5:48 says: be ye perfect.
Perfection in Heb 6:1 is pure grace in Heb 13:25.
As for the awful lawful God of Isreal, read Exodus 32:27.
The glory of God is grace glory = understanding in Proverbs 4; And falling short of it is falling from grace to law noted in Galatians 5:4. Perfection is grace void of law, as is light void of darkness, as is mercy void of sacrifice, as is peace void of division. Pst: do a search on twain shew: two glorys
Grace: God in "heaven": "higher than the heavens": Friend
Law: God on "high" in plural divided "heavens": Enmity
You are miss-taken about Jesus. There is a notable difference between Jesus and Christ, with clarity that peace with God and eternal salvation are "through Jesus --> Christ" which ends with "Christ: is the end of the law", the Saviour of "the world"(not just Israel); And peace that is not divided.
Jesus: made under the law: Gal 4
Christ: the end of the law: Rom 10
Pst: ye are not under law, but under grace
Jesus: division and not peace: Mt 10:34
Christ: peace and not dividead: Jn 14:27
Pst: mark and avoid them which cause divisions
Jesus: Saviour of Israel(of Jacob-->Israel)
Christ: Saviour of the world: Jn 4:42; 1Jn4:14
Pst: God our Saviour will have ALL men saved
To WIT, that God was in "Christ" reconciling the world.
(that God = light only was NOT in Jesus alienation)
PST: God can't be one by division; But is one by unity.
The grace(only) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

All humans fall short of the glory of God except for the grace of God.
If this is your faith than it is your faith. i am a Christian and just try to be the best I can be.There is no perfect human on this earth and never will be.

Yes. Jesus is the perfect example, but He does not really expect us to live up to His perfection. He asks us to honor God as well as we can and love one another.

People cannot be perfect while on this earth. Our sin nature means it's impossible.
