When you achieve absolute perfection without one single fault, let me know your secret!
What I am seeing being taught in the Church that is totally false, is that you all think perfection has to do with
sin. The lie is being taught that we will always sin, and even Paul struggled with sin. Also, that Paul taught this! NO! He taught we are dead to sin. Is that everyone, but him? Is he the only apostle that is not a Christian, because John teaches that born again, Spirit-filled Christians do not sin, and that is what Paul taught also.
Perfection has to do with maturing the divine nature. Sin is no longer the topic, because Jesus took away our sin, and in Him there is no sin. 1 John 3:5.
Here is the path to perfection
in context that even Paul was striving for, and I will highlight the particulars. Paul wasn't striving to be sinless; he already was cleansed of all his
"old sins":
2 Peter 1:2-11
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that
pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust.
5 But also for this very reason,
giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound,
you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his
old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
