[MarkBsnr]

If you argue we CAN be holy as in God’s standard, then we are all failing, no? Why would God command us to be something we can’t?

We cannot, this side of Heaven, yet Jesus commands it.

Matthew 5: 48 So be perfect,* just as your heavenly Father is perfect.d

So what are you going to do? Ignore Him?

[BereanBrain]

We WILL BE PERFECTED!!!! Just as Jesus commands!

This is a process, which we are undergoing, and Jesus is the author and perfector of our faith.

WHEN will we be perfected? the 100% mark occurs at OUR DEATH, or assumption (whichever comes first). Short of this we are all fallible.

Now you tell me, are YOU PERFECT? Have you ever made it through a day, week, month? Does Jesus grade on a curve?

Of course any Christian wishes to be perfect, we just cannot do it completely in this life. Not ONE of us.

Now tell me -— are you perfect? If not, do you not believe the scripture? or are you just tilting at windmills?
