The damnable heresy of "nobody's perfect" in Christ

As long as we are in these earthen vessels we have a corruptible nature that wars against the Spirit in our new nature in Christ by whom we have become new creatures.  "Behold  all things have become new and all things are of God!" The apostle (not of men or by men, but by Jesus Christ) Paul had not attained the glorified body that is the power of the ressurection manifest. But he desired to know the power of the ressurection which of course is Jesus Christ. And Paul did put to silence the gainSayers who don't believe anyone sins less then they do. Particularly in Romans 6. But the serpent theologians have wrest the admonitions in the holy scriptures to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus. So they crept in unawares, into the sanctuaries. "Henceforth know I no man after the flesh not even Christ" This is what separates the wheat from the tares. To know Christ after the Spirit and not after the flesh. mortifying the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit, rather than crucifying afresh the Son of God.. "I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, not I, but Christ in me" We live by the faith of God in Christ who shed his blood for forgiveness and remission of sin. Not being perfect does not mean "the good that I would, I do not; the evil that I would not that I do". Is Christ the minister of sin? Paul writes moved by the Holy Spirit, "if I build again the things that were destroyed, I make myself an trangressor." and "but we are not of them who have drawn back into perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul". This is the good news of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ who came to save sinners from their sins and to cleanse them from all unrighteousness.
"If the righteous be scarcely saved where will the sinner appear?' On the platform in the polluted sanctuary where no one is righteous, no not one".
"Fo the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, to live sober and holy in this present world, looking for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of The Great God, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We can boast we are clean in a sinless Christ who has translated us from the kingdom of darkness into His marvelous light.
How can we "go unto perfection" if we believe the serpent's lie that nobody's perfect in Christ?
Peter writes of "the exceeding great and precious promises whereby we can partake of the divine nature"  ADD TO YOUR FAITH "with all diligence virtue, knowledge, temperance, brotherly love, patience, godliness, charity...if these things abound in you, you shall never fall"   2 Peter 1
E K K L E S I A  211
