They'll say if you're tempted with evil (which the devil would do, since we are still in the this flesh) and even if you resist it, fight and don't fall into it, they'll say that you sinned.

There are people who would say that we can't be perfect, because we can accidentally trip ourselves while walking, or that we don't have the best singing voice ever, or our handwriting isn't the most beautiful. In other words, a lot of silly, natural, carnal definitions.

The bible says that Jesus was tempted in all ways like us, but yet without sin. It's the falling into temptations that is a sin.
