Got scripture? :')

Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Phil 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

There are about many definitions of perfect.

I'm saved but I'm not perfect because I'm still a sinner. A forgiven one but still a sinner. I start out each day striving for perfection but I fail. We all do, don't you think?

Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

I could be wrong (you guys help me out) but to me Hebrews 14 is talking about Jesus perfecting a way to remove our sins. A few verses up he speaks about priests not being able to do so but when Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice he did

Phil 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

.I'm not sure exactly what Paul is saying here yet but when he talks of apprehended, in the next verse he says he hasn't apprehended. It sounds to me that he is preaching on how to strive towards perfection.

There are about many definitions of perfect.

No kidding. Ever see how many ways Dave can define worship? :')
