The Law meaning the 10 commandements was never intended to be carried out, this is why Jesus says I have come to fulfill the Law or pay the price for the Law which was with his life. He gave us a new Law love the Lord with all your heart mind and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. If you can do those two things you will follow the whole law but you can't do this in sin or and be sinning because that speaks against what you may say you believe.

People do continue to grow, you skin grows old, your hair gets grey, you fingernails get long and need to be cut.... So does your understanding regarding life and holiness and righteousness and religion it must grow look at Peter in Acts 10 God had to grow him out of the Jewish lifestyle and into the broad expression in which God exists. The start is still freedom from sin, don't use the word perfect it's still free from sin forever which is simply yet complexly free from sin

Sin according to what I believe is Laid out in Galatians 5:19-21 those that do those things deliberately as you say or accidentally if that were possible are still in their sins. Galatians 5:22-24 spells out how those who have truly accepted Christ live. If you crucify your flesh you are dead to it, like what Romans 6:11 and 12 giving a direct command regarding sin... I mean read all of Romans 6 Paul is giving the strongest argument for freedom from sin..... Just dont use the word perfect...
The question I have for you is #1 to you what is Sin? #2 what LAW are you referring to maybe perfect is the word which you are putting too much into. If you have a baby or a man with 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 feet, 2 ears, 2 eyes, a mouth, 32 teeth, 10 fingers and 10 toes humanly they are for lack of a better word perfect. What makes people imperfect is being born into sin, or born with Satan connected to their Spirit. Jesus brakes this connection by dying on a cross and rasing from the dead

@dassol1975 Sin according to biblical language and scripture is simply falling short of God's perfect standards of perfection. Missing the mark. Nut no man has and never will meet those standards of perfection (Ecc. 7:20 & 1 Kings 8:46). This is why GRACE is SOOOOO crucial. However, this is not a means to live in continuous and deliberate sin. Though we are contaminated with sinful flesh, we still have responsibility and accountability....

@dassol1975 There is never any excuse for sin. We must take up our cross DAILY!!

There is only one way to sin deliberately, there are no accidental sins... If you did it you intended on doing it... If you don't then you were given the power not to and the good common sense to do what is right. Even with that doing what is right is not the only requirement it's accepting fully the preached gospel of Jesus Christ which is nothing but freedom from sin deliberate or intention or so called unintentional....

@dassol1975 You raise some very good points. However, that still doesn't refute the fact that we as believers still never meet the perfect standards of the Law. According to the context in Psalm 19:12-13 & Luke 12:47-48, we will alwasy have to continue to grow in holiness. There is no sinless perfection.

Until you have accepted salvation for yourself and even see the need to you will stay in your position. I understand what you claim to believe but you will never alone be able to understand the truth until you can accept the truth. It's like an alcoholic they can't see they are an alcoholic nor do they believe they are until they are forced to see themselves and change. In the same way you will continue to fight to stay in sin so long as you are in sin. And I am quite sure your response if a

@dassol1975 I couldn't agree with you more; the problem is that you don't me to conclude that I'm living in continuous and deliberate sin. so, let me ask you a simple question that many have not been able to giev an honest answer for, (if you don't mind me asking); have YOU sinned at least once since your conversion to Christ?
