I may be wrong, but most Protestants do not even profess any desire, let alone teaching, to live such a life, to emulate Christ.

Yeesh. Not only are you wrong; you're rude.

"This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But you have not so learned Christ,

if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." -- Ephesians 4:17-24

Wrong? Rude? Christ was humble. Humility is rarely something you hear from Protestant pulpits. I suppose you will deny that too.

I will say this: far and few in-between are those who fit +Paul's words. We all may believe that we truly believe, but at least most if us do not fool ourselves to believe we are free of sin, Christ-like.

Dr. E, the KJV is more distorted from the Scriptures than I had earlier supposed. Thank you for bringing this up and posting it.
