Whichever Lutheran church follows the Book of Concord and believes that it correctly explains the doctrines of the Bible is the church that is closest to the Bible. (I am biased, of course.) There are Lutheran groups out there such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America that don't follow the Book of Concord anymore, so you have to be careful about which group a particular congregation/church belongs to. You need to find a confessional Lutheran church. That's hard nowadays since the devil is attacking every denomination. His time is short. So I suggest that you type "confessional Lutheran" and "Lutheran liturgy" into a search engine. You will find a lot of help at various Web sites. Of course, even then you may be disappointed by some hypocrites or other people who sin. Remember, no one is perfect, and no church is perfect. Put your trust in Jesus, not in a church; but you still need to go to a church and hear every week that your sins are forgiven by Jesus, our Crucified and Risen Savior.

My "religion" didn't write the Word of God. However, the religious did write their own.
The Bible, the Scriptures of the Old Testament and the New Testament, preserved for us in the Masoretic text (Old Testament) Textus Receptus (New Testament) and in the King James Bible, is verbally and plenarily inspired of God. It is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and altogether authentic, accurate and authoritative Word of God, therefore the supreme and final authority in all things (II Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21; Rev. 22:18-19.
Anything else, just throw it in the trash.

Many of the Christian groups started out on the money; as did the first group in the Book of Acts. It was down hill from there with the addition of church traditions, personal opinions presented as sound doctrine, and money interests.
If you added the essential revelations of William Branham, minus the opinions of the preachers who followed, together with the teaching and home churching of Watchman Nee; I think you would get close to Apostolic and clear of the Catholic, Protestant and franchise church messes.

No religions have it right.
Christianity is not a religion, its a relationship with God thru the Lord Jesus Christ.
No denomination is perfect but here is list of some who are closer than most:

I have studied most of the protestant denominations and the 2 that come the closest in (my humble opinion) are the Baptists and the Moody church. (not necessarily in that order)
I chose to be a baptist because I support their doctrines of
Believer's Baptism
Congregational church government
innerrency of scripture
The Sovereignty of God
The Lord's supper
The Trinity
The Sainthood of a believer
Sunday worship
just to name a few, because they are supported by scripture.(not necessarily in that order for importance)
But to answer the first part... no we are not perfect, only God is. Many others are close enough to call them my brothers and sisters in Christ. Presbyterian, Methodists, Church of God, most church of Christ, even Seventh Day Adventist as long as they agree to Jesus as being the beginning and end of our salvation.

Yes. The Bible was given to one Church, the one Church Jesus Christ founded upon the Apostles. That one, and no other, Church was also given full authority to accurately interpret it. Whatsoever that one Church binds upon earth is bound in heaven. "Whatsoever" includes the church's interpretation of its own book, compiled by its own bishops for its own use. Those who have "borrowed" the book from Christ's Church have consistently demonstrated their inability to interpret it correctly, resulting in thousands of conflicting manmade denominations and widespread doctrinal chaos in a few hundred years of existence, in direct violation of the stated will of God, "that they all may be ONE". Christ's Church on the other hand has taught the fullness of truth in unity, without division into denominations, for 2,000 years. That's why the Bible refers to the one Church Christ founded as "the pillar and foundation of truth". No structure can stand without its pillars and foundation. The truth cannot stand apart from the one Church Christ founded for all mankind, the Catholic Church.

I think that if anyone in any religion truly lived and was exactly Christ like , they would have it right , but were humans prone to err
all we can do is strive to be Jesus like
so , in answer to the Q, I say no but some are close
