I've been thinking about this for a while
About Jesus
I know Jesus was sinless
But was he Perfect
Is there a difference between two of them
For example
Being sinless this will mean do no evil
Being perfect would mean making a mistake
My question is this was Jesus perfect?

There is a difference by the way, as we can be perfect as He tells us we must be as our Father in heaven is , but we cannot be likewise sinless as Jesus is.

I believe so. The Lord was the spotless lamb of God. The sacrificial lamb in the Old Testament had to not just be healthy but also spotless. A blemished and/or diseased animal was not acceptable to God Almighty. From that perspective I'm inclined to believe that the Lord was both sinless and immaculate, i.e., perfect. He kept the law of God and the law of the land (render unto Caesar the taxes owed). Peace in Christ:).

Good question for clarifying - some people think hindu is christian, not realizing how deceitful and deceptive and totally idolatrous (opposed to One True God) it is.

Why do you associate a person sitting with their legs crossed to Hinduism? Is this a hindu only practice? Should we go to preschools and advice them to stop making children sit this way?

For instance , what religion teaches this or thinks this way >>>>
You could spend hours and hours trying to make sense of Revelations but I don't think Jesus His self can make any sense of it

The perfect sacrifice without spot or blemish. But in his flesh he even said " why do you call me good" There is no good in the flesh...

Jesus was and is good in spirit and in the flesh.
Always perfectly as Yahweh and Yahshua Planned forever.

The question was to get to the motive and intent of the heart of the one who called Jesus good, to see if they knew He is God or not. (for many others also)

The perfect sacrifice without spot or blemish. But in his flesh he even said " why do you call me good" There is no good in the flesh...

I'm sorry, but you need to go back to preschool class and let the grown-ups talk. Anyone who knows anything about Hinduism knows that is an Image of Hinduism. It's not just the crossed legs.

Ok, I'll go study Hinduism and come back ready to talk with the adults. Thanks for the advise.

That is Gnostic teaching. Jesus flesh was not evil. The reason he said that was to make them think, he was in around about way telling them he is God.

Yes, Jesus was perfect. You can't be perfect if you aren't sinless. If you are sinless, why wouldn't you be perfect?

My question is this was Jesus perfect?

I had questions about this from a function standpoint for decades. But now your question finally hits me. Did He walk perfect, did He talk perfect, did he ever offend?
Did he work on the Sabbath by healing?

But just now it struck me......God decides your sins by your intentions. God reads your intentions in your heart and see what your intentions are. If you love God and have faith in Him your misdeeds are forgiven. So, how is that possible? If you accidently kill somebody's child, how can you be forgiven?
Becasue God sees your heart and your intent.

So then if Jesus had good intentions, then He can be forgiven for stepping on ants, swatting mosquitoes, killing and eating fish.....all of that is forgiven because He always intended to do the Fathers will and to give His own life for all sinners.

We are perfected in Spirit here on earth. Jesus was perfected in everything
becasue his intentions were to save all of mankind from all sin.

So He got to serve fish and was licenced to make wine.
