Post Body

I know it is common Christian believe that 1) no one is perfect, and thus everyone deserves hell.

Unless you 2) believe in Jesus Christ and His perfection is imputed to you and you can therefore go to heaven.

But where does it say you have to be perfect? I know it says “all have sinned and all fall short of the glory of God”, but I take this just to mean “all have sinned, and therefore you aren’t God, who is perfect”.

So where does it say in Bible that God just can’t forgive sin and you enter as a former human and he is the perfect one who is God?
