He’s going to burn.
Lemon is just uninformed.
Matthew 5:48 New International Version (NIV)
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
We sometimes have difficulty thinking of Jesus as being fully human because he committed no sin (2Cor 5:21, Heb 4:15, 1Pe 2:22, 1Jn 3:5). When we mess up or sin, one of the most common excuses we make is “I can’t help it. I’m only human”.
But we must realize that this is an abnormal view of true humanity. Humans were created good (Gen 1:31) and without a sin nature. Jesus is only the third truly human being in the sense of God’s original intent, the other two being Adam and Eve before the fall (Gen 3).
Thus we can picture the human nature of Jesus being very similar to that of Adam before the fall (Heb 4:15). Thus perfection.
Perhaps he just needs to read a little more in the Book:
Matthew 7:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

I’m going to ignore Lemon’s religious provocations, and focus on the secular.
“So, why are we deifying the founders of this country, many of whom owned slaves?”
Who is this “we” Lemon has conjured from nothing? Who is doing any deifying, as opposed to honoring the founding fathers? People outside of mental institutions view Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, et al. as mere mortals who did exceptional things, despite having the same feet of clay we all share. That is precisely WHY they were great. Owning slaves was a very ordinary phenomenon in their times, and a negative blot on the character of the slaveholders. Is Lemon too infantile to understand that it was one of many aspects of complex individuals?
This man is an ignoramus and a fool.
Whoever said the Founding Fathers were “perfect”? No one.
And Jesus never claimed to not be perfect.
Wrong on all counts.
