Right, gotcha: double standards, hypocrisy and special pleading are all parts of your ideal type. Just cutting through the chaff, there.
Let me put it another way: Jesus was godly, divine, perfect, because he had something that others did not, right? That being, he was sinless? That was his big leg up over ordinary men? So wouldn't committing a sin- that is, a prohibition that god has placed upon men- by definition make one imperfect?
I mean, isn't that the whole point of heaven, that since everyone is tainted by sin and hence imperfect they can't go without being saved? Aren't sins supposed to be something the devil encourages? Are you therefore saying that the devil is perfect too?
Or will you resort to yet more special pleading and claim that sins are what make us unworthy and imperfect, but not god?
