I was talking about not being perfect (sin-wise). If you sin, you are not perfect. And it is not possible to not sin, ever, life-long. We will be punished with everlasting torment in flames (unless you're UR) for sinning even once, and even if that sin was as tiny as taking a cookie from the cookie jar without permission. That is what I'm talking about.

Frankly, every man is born alienated from God. It's part of our nature. Sins committed are like symptoms of this condition. Every man has the disease. That's why without Christ's work on the cross... the entire human race would perish.
