God's Truth

You're the one who's mis-construed the context of Scriptures explaining our 'perfection' in Him; I've not disobeyed God (that I'm aware of), at least: not today!
You need to know it is disobedience to believe and teach falseness.
The Bible says we are made perfect and that we have to live up to that.
We are to work out our salvation; in other words: we are to repent and seek His help with persistent sinful nature. No one is perfect, except The One Who always was, is and always will be perfect.
Jesus’ blood makes us perfect and then we are to live up to that. THAT IS SCRIPTURE.
You are going against the scriptures that SAY Jesus made us PERFECT and now we have to live up to that.2 Corinthians 7:1 Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
If we really were 'perfect' as you still seem to be deluded into thinking; we would never have to purify ourselves as all, being perfect and all. You're just not thinking.
Paul is saying that after they are saved and made perfect, they have to live up to it.Colossians 1:28 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
When we present those before Him whom we've led into The Kingdom: we'll see them in their perfect condition, because they'll be in the same glorified bodies that we will be in.
You are not perfect in any sense if you are not perfect through Christ. Just look at how you talk.Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
We are, indeed, perfect... in spiritual sense.
Our spirit-man is in perfect communion with The Father, because of Jesus' Blood. Our flesh is still in a fallen world. We have to bring His enemies into subjection in order to usher in His Kingdom into this world. That hasn't happened yet.
Sounds like you are trying to rewrite the Bible.
Where did you get that we can’t be close to him?
You think of the 12 apostles as being 'above' us. They are human, just like we are.
They helped lay the foundation and GOD TESTIFIED to what they did by allowing them to do MIRACLES.
Hebrews 2:4
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Acts 14:3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.
Mark 6:7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.
Matthew 10:1
Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
They are believers. We have the same promises they received, though none of us should look to have a better seat in Heaven than they.
God testified to the one and only gospel by allowing the apostles to do miraculous things.
But He hasn't taken back ANY of His Promises.
God already testified to the gospel. The foundation has been laid.
1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
You say you are disabled, so no wonder you say untruths about me.
I've never lied about you.
You have lied and continue to lie.
More of your learning disability showing when you continue to lie about me and say you aren’t.You simply have a darkened understanding. As long as you continue to be un-teachable, you'll carry that darkness to new levels.
The learning disability you said you had is showing.You only think that because you're un-learned. Read your Bible. It makes perfect sense, following Scriptural time-lines. Prove otherwise, if you think you're right. Denying a Truth doesn't change anything, other than the fact that you're trying to re-inforce your own position by denial.
