Yes. This is huge hypocrisy, which is a sin btw. So much for that "christian perfection". Sickening, bro.
You bring up "perfection."
Jesus said this...
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Perfect - G5046 - teleios
From G5056; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.); neuter (as noun, with G3588) completeness: - of full age, man, perfect.
Paul also said this...
Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Php 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.
Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Php 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Php 3:16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Php 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Php 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Php 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Php 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Php 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
We see in verse 9 Paul clearly teaches that righteousness is by faith and not of the law which is in full agreement with Gal 5:4-6 and Rom 3:28.
In verse 10 Paul brings this faith into the context of knowing Jesus and the power of His resurrection and also mentions being a partaker of his sufferings. Very similar to the "suffering in the flesh" which Peter talks about in 1Pet 4:1 that results in the cessation of sin (in the context of sin resulting from walking according to the lusts of men, ie. Jam 1:14-15).
In verse 11 Paul talks about wanting to attain unto the resurrection of the dead and in verse 12 clearly states he has not attained this yet and is thus not perfect. He is seeking this perfection. The word for perfect in this verse is...
Perfect - G5048 - teleioō
From G5046; to complete, that is, (literally) accomplish, or (figuratively) consummate (in character): - consecrate, finish, fulfil, (make) perfect.
That is a different word to the one Jesus used. The one Jesus used referred to "moral perfection."
So Paul continues on talking about the prize which is yet to be attained and how he presses on to it in his walk then in verse 15 he makes this statement, "as many as be perfect" and he uses the same word Jesus used which means "moral perfection."
Yet you say "so much for that Christian perfection, sickening."
So would you please explain what Paul is talking about here if he is not talking about the moral perfection of a Christian?
Do you believe that this "moral perfection" is the "perfection of Jesus credited to your account"?
If that is what you believe then can you clearly show in the Scripture where this is taught?
One other question.
If the "righteousness of Jesus is credited to your account by faith" WHILE "you are still a filthy sinner" then HOW EXACTLY DOES FAITH ESTABLISH THE LAW?
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Thank you.
