It is more a reaction to the Godlike qualities you are assigning to your "perfect" person.

Which "Godlike qualities" would that be?

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.

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.

Not at all. I assert there was only one born perfect and that was Jesus. (We aren't going to be forced to post the "no not one" Scriptures one more time are we?)

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.

By golly, you've finally got it. To become perfect. Wow, it took a while.
