Likewise, the perfected human, the human who is totally free from sin and perfect in every way, remains a human and not a god.
Except that the only perfect human, in the sense that you are using it, born perfect was a God.
Your entire story is a man made invention. None of it is based on Scripture.
Which "Godlike qualities" would that be?

Thank you for asserting the point I was trying to make.
Yes, Jesus was God and man. And yes He was perfect, sinless, from His Conception on.
You assert that divinity is necessary for a human being to be perfect. I don't see why.
Every one of us has the opportunity to become a perfect sinless human. This doesn't make us divine. I don't know how much more simply I can express this.

Well, the problem frankly is that they think 2 dimensionally. They see a term used in the Bible and think because it appears there that it must apply everywhere - the critical review doesn't happen.
LOL. Havoc, have you ever met any Non-Catholic Christians?
It is they, not the Catholics, who eschew more nuanced understanding of what words in Scripture mean.
It's not the Catholics running around going "all have sinned" and "call no man on earth 'father' without the slightest effort in finding the message of the passage rather than the simplest literal rendering.
