One reason I'm interested in your (and others') personal experience is that you have asserted your own righteousness very clearly, but this righteousness--even perfection--is never quite fully on display in your actual behavior on this forum. So I was thinking that if those who assert their perfection and maturity would let that be clearly seen on this forum, I would be able to look at them and think, "So perfection really is possible and so their views must be correct."

Bro, but that is insane! We are told that those who gauge themselves among themselves are not wise
2 Corinthians 10:12. Paul tells the Corinthian church that their letters were one thing, but their actual presence another. Still we are not to measure ourselves with each other. Following Paul as he followed Christ like ants in a straight line. The apostle is explaining that they were only following Christ as a group. Paul isn't the example setter, neither is pork sandwich eating Peter
Galatians 2:12. It is only Jesus Christ who is our example. Not me, not you, but
1 John 3:7-8 still hangs over our heads like the sword of Damocles. My view isn't my view, it is in the Bible, and I therefore believe it because it is like a stop sign or a red light. You cannot avoid it. You may think you can blow through it, but there are repercussions.
So, I can be the biggest sinner who ever walked in cowboy boots, but
1 John 3:7-8 is still tapping on my driver side window, looking through mirror sunglasses. So, how do you get through all those verses I asked you about?
