Do You Believe In Sinless Perfection?

This is not an argument about religion, or ones personal beliefs. I am just curious how many people actually believe that being perfect from sin is attainable. I have a very close friend who has a very different outlook than me on sinless perfection. I don't believe in sinless perfection, mostly because those who do think everything is a sin. Every little thing is a sin. So how could you ever be perfect from sin? Unless you are a nun or priest, I don't see this. Plus if God wanted us to be perfect why would we need a God? He would have no one to left to guide or teach. I do believe we should follow the ten commandments, and try to live the best and honest life we can.

You will never know if you are perfect because if you believe you are that`s already a sin. In theory it is possible, Jesus was perfect and we are required to be Christ like.In practice that`s why we need God, someone is striving to become a better person and God will help him with the rest.

Maybe it's the moment of birth, that's the only sinless perfection I see. The rest of your life is a totally different story. It's about lessons, and you can't learn much from perfection, you learn the most from mistakes.

I don't believe sinless perfection exists...And if it did, I would believe God is the only one who has achieved it. My favorite quote is, "Better to be an open sinner than a false saint." I believe those who claim to have acquired sinless perfection are just denying their human form that God blessed them with. We're meant to make mistakes and learn from them.

I do not believe in sinless perfection, Nobody is perfect.Humans are natural sinners and we live on this world which its nature is sin. Perfection is hard to attain, and sin is hard to avoid. I should say that we can be perfect just for a moment but never all the times.
