I posted this question to skinski and he couldn't answer me, so I'm wondering if your gonna do the same :
are you prideful, do you covet, jealous of another, vain, think your better than others,
Oh occasionally. Quite a few perfectionists take it as a teleological goal not an immediate reality. That is to say, it is possible not to sin, it is our goal not to sin, but it is not recessionary to be at that point at any given time before we die (and after we die we are perfected, I hope we all agree on that)
If one should become perfect they may be translated like Enoch or possibly Elijah. Coming closer to the goal at least gives one more power in their gifting and such.
do you do something you know you shouldn't,
That's kind of random. I suppose you mean just do any sin when you still know its sin?
Judgment isn't sin, hypocrisy is. I wish more Christians would understand that. You'd only have to read one verse further to see that, but most people like cut quotes rather than content...
Because all these things are sin, do you lie, and justify yourself by saying it's only a little white lie?
To be honest, most of the things you listed are not that hard to avoid. Covetous is killed by contentment, and if you can get past the consumerism of our culture contentment is not that difficult given the ease of our life. Jealousy and the kind of pride scripture dislikes is killed in the same way. Of course there are quite a few good prides out there, true self confidence and such, they are different than what scripture condemns.
You know, the majority of the list you wrote has to do with a spirit of discontentment. I believe those may be hard for quite a few of us here because many of us are in nations of abundance (Canada, US, Australia) and yet also nations driven by consumption and world concerns. Disconnecting from that rat-race really goes a long ways to killing the things on that list, but it goes against much of what we have been taught and so takes quite a long journey of faith and serenity.
Sin is sin, just because you don't commit any outward sins does not mean all of you on the inside is clean,
Is your railing against perfectionists such that you'll just assume they're sinning inside because you want everyone to sin?
the Pharasies appeared perfect on the outside, yet Jesus called them whitewashed tombs.
Indeed, they did what they did for public approval.
Notice that perfectionists are generally railed against and denied public approval. We say what we say for the Kingdom. People like their dear freind sin, and don't like the idea that they should leave him alone and move on...
By the way mocking another's struggle is also sin, so it looks like your not sinless after all
If calling people out on sin and telling them they need to go and sin no more is in and of itself sin in your books then my Jesus is the gravest of sinners...
If someones going to boast of their sin and defend being allowed to keep it I'm gonna call them out on it, esp if they themselves say its sin.
