Description

Okay let me explain things in case you don't understand what it means.

The world views Christians as people who should be perfect and yet they also view Christians as Hypocrites. Let me just define the two words.
Perfect defined by the 1950's non- PC Webster: 1: To finish or complete, so as to leave nothing wanting. 2: to make perfect or more nearly perfect according to a given standard, as by training or improvement.
Now Hypocrite: one who feigns to be what he is not; one who pretends to be pious, virtuous, etc, without really being so.

Now that we have that out of the way. I just want to point out something. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Christians are perfect. We have flaws and we are still humans. We can mess up just like everyone else.
While there are some who fit into the hypocrite definition not all of us are.
We are human beings who can still make mistakes. When you become saved that does not change. We still have temptations and the sinful nature it does not just fade away and make us like angels.
Yes, we are saved by grace. Yes, we strive to be perfect and attempt to better our lives. Yes, we avoid things that are not good for us.
No, we are not perfect and should never claim to be so.

Just wanted to clear things up.
