why do Christians not believe a man can be as perfect as God from this day forward?

Question

I have to ask.........this question again.....

so that Jesus was not needed as a gift, kinda like giving jesus back to the father........you all make God sound week.....we have to sin so, jesus can be sacraficed. The father can not make us perfect for he lacks the strengh to do so......we do not have to sin, we just do not understand rightousness....... Romans 3:10-18.....vers 11.

I hear crap like you are not God.....I am like duh!!!, but one day I will be as rightous as God in this life time. PERFECT.

amen Jemes..

Answer 1

...actually here is Romans 3 10 - 18:

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.


...nowhere does it read that God is lacking, it is only us that may lack the abiblity, but it doesn't mean we can't be perfect...

...Jesus Himself urges us to be perfect:

Matthew 5:48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Answer 2

What I hear coming out of you mouth is filth, and the defecation of swine. One knows another person's intelligence/professionalism/righteousness by the way that the person presents himself/herself. One can judge something as being true by checking for falseness/accurateness. If you can't spell or use spell check then how can you have the intelligence to be prophetic? You should check the difference between week and weak. In the sentence where you state that, "we have to sin so, Jesus can be sacrificed," you make multiple mistakes including not capitalizing the name Jesus. You also make the mistake of trying to interpret scripture that you do not understand. Man is not fulfilling prophesy to please God or make God look good. Man is not sinning to take God off the hook. Man is sinning because Man is weak. Jesus died as the ultimate sacrifice, the sacrificial lamb of God, to forgive the sins of mankind because that is the only way that Mankind would be saved. You seem to misunderstand scripture purposefully so as to have a vice to put down the scriptures. You actually make fun of the scripture so there is actually no one that will give you the right answer because you choose to make fun of the Word of God. You say that the Father can not make us perfect. You seem to be a son of Satan himself. God created Adam & Eve perfect but gave the two the freedom of choice. The first couple proved weak and chose to follow Satan's temptation rather than the wisdom of God. You seem to forget that Satan was involved in this mess. You speak of being righteous, with your misunderstanding and misinterpetation of the scriptures you will never be perfect. You are either truly a child of Satan or a very confused person because you twist God's Word completely around. The scripture that you quote, Romans 3:10-18 does not say anything about Mankind not having to sin. The verse actually proves that all, everyone on the face of the earth, are under sin. The first half o the statements used by Paul use negative statements to emphasize humanity's deficiences. The second half of the verse you mentioned exposes human depravity.

Answer 3

Jesus, having never sinned, is perfect in perpetuity. He is perfect, has always been perfect, and will always be perfect.

The level of perfection that God requires is 100% perfection, 100% of the time. Were God to make you perfect from this day forward, you would still need the sacrifice of Jesus for everything you did from yesterday on backwards.

None of us will ever be as perfect as God, especially in this life time. Even in heaven we will still not be perfect, though we will be cleansed, redeemed, and glorified. The reason is that there will always have been a time when we were not perfect.
But for God, there has never been a time when He was not perfect.

Answer 4

Original Sin-ever since Adam every single human has screwed up at least once, and is thus imperfect. Jesus was the exception of course.

The logic goes that if it were possible, then Jesus would not have had to die. I personally find this unnessasary. I am presuming you have met other humans at some point in your life-then the fact that every single person that has every lived (except 1) is screwed up should be obvious. At least that is what Augustine though when he thought up this doctrine in the 400s AD.

Answer 5

No man (or woman) is perfect.
We are born with a heart that rebels against God.
We inherited this sin nature from the first man, Adam.
We are sinners and most of us know this.
Jesus is the only sinless One who died and arose from the dead to pay for our sins. God is just and sin had to be paid for. He could not overlook His justice. God is also merciful and made a way that we could be reconciled to Him.
When we accept Jesus' payment for our sins and repent (change our thinking and accept God's way), we are given the righteousness of Christ which will be our acceptance into heaven. As long as we are on earth, we still battle against our old sinful nature but we have God's power to overcome sins as we submit to His ways and hopefully sin less and less until we are in heaven where we will be sinless.

Answer 6

If God created man in his own image, then man shows us what God is like, right? What you're saying is, if God is benevolent and man is malevolent, then man is not made in God's image. That is logical. But what I say is, God created man with the capacity for ill, and indeed there can be nothing in creation which does not embody polar opposites. I still believe that man is made in the image of god ... and woman too, and that tells you a lot about what God is like. Different from how most Christians imagine him, I fancy.

Answer 7

Even Paul said- "I press on toward the goal, to win the prize that I have in Christ Jesus- but I have not yet attained it". We continue to grow, or at least I hope so, to become more like Christ- Being like Christ does not mean we will become Christ- there is a huge difference- when we reach our final destination we will be like Him- You are right we are free from sin, so with the help of the Holy Spirit, as we grow, we will live more and more to please Him, and sin less and less, but John in his first epistle- said- "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us"- this was written to believers not to unbelievers. No , if we are born again believers, we do not HAVE to sin, but at times we will, and we have Christ as the advocate before the Father- sitting at His right hand interceding for us. No one can be as righteous as God, but I praise God that I am clothed in His righteousness and one day I will see Him just as He is- If I could ever be as righteous as Him, then we would not be spending eternity worshiping Him would we?

Answer 8

I believe the negative to your question...

I do believe a person can be perfect like God, it takes a lot of time and a lot of obedience...

I will never be God, but hopefully I will be hugely pleasing to Him in the way I lived my life, Hopefully I will bless others, and be a great witness of God's...

I need to have accepted Jesus to get to the stage of perfection like God is...

Answer 9

Gods mind, soul and presence is mammoth, you can never be God. God is God. You men will continue to imitate him, because you have so many questions. When Jesus comes back he is going to get the best publisher in the world as he wasn't promoted well was he??

Lets leave it there

Answer 10

We`re born in sin and we will die in sin.If not for the saving grace ,the blood of Jesus ,man kind would be lost.One day yes we will be new creatures born of a body that will last for ever and we won`t ever be tempted again.
