So Christ demands a way of life of us that is impossible to live? I never said the poster should live a sinless life... yet again you taking stretches in the discussion that are out of context of what was said.
However, we are to strive, every moment of every life to live as Christ would have us... and when we see one within the body fall (as we all do) short in their efforts, we are to admonish, encourage, and assist that one in seeing the stumble, so that they may be aware and we all can strive to not stumble over the same thing over, and over, and over.
Your post almost sounds as if we should just say, Jesus wants us to live a certain way, but we'll never be able to do it, so when we don't... we should just say, oh well, nobody is perfect..... and if that is your intimation here, that is absolutely ludicrous of what God expects of us as His body.
We are to emulate Him in every way... I would that you not sin, but if you do sin we have an advocate.... there is a constant striving for walking perfectly in Him... and when we mess up... those that are spiritual (meaning those that see it) are to help that person stumbling to see it (done in love, but truth), and hopefully we all learn from it.
