NO! I'm sure the bible quotes for this answer is coming up soon...

[Leonard]

Completely UNTRUE! So far, I am the only one....

[OakWood]

No....... and I too will quietly slip away (whistles to himself then shuffles off!)

[Fez]

A perfect creation to be sure, made imperfect by my own sin, and thanks to His blood, forgiven.

 

So no, I am not perfect, neither am I capable of loving others like He loves me.

NO, lol, and who ever alleged otherwise.

 

We are flawed followers of the only One who is truly loving and perfect. Perfection is required for entrance to Heaven though, so how does that work, Christian will go to Heaven.

 

We go, not because of any merit of our own, but because God is able to impute the righteousness of Christ Jesus to us, wash all of our sins away, and change us to be like Him, before we are allowed to enter His presence. This will not happen during our natural lives, but by His grace, we will be changed and dwell with Him forever. for now, please be patient with us, we are stuck in our natural sinful bodies.

No it is not true that Christians are loving perfect people.We are sinners and we are not perfect.Although I think Christians should strive to be patient and kind to those around them as much as possible.We are the salt and light of this world.

No, it is not true that "All" Christians are Loving, Perfect People.  All Christians have not grown up in Christ as the word "perfect" in the scripture means "mature" (adulthood).  Meaning there are still babes in Christ, (--those who are still weak brothers & sisters in the Lord,-- those who are not taking on their responsibility of following Christ living foolish and haphazardly in their walk with Christ,-- those remaining ignorant because they don't read or study God's Word so they don't know what is right to do and not to do lacking the counsel of God found in the scripture,--  those who are being tossed to and fro (back and forth) from one doctrine to another trying to find Christian unity when our unity is in the faith of knowing Christ and what he did for us and -- those who have not come to maturity and taken on the work and responsibility of the ministry sharing and teaching the gospel with others so they can and will be able grow up in the knowledge and grace of Christ etc.,).  But there are believers who walk in the love of God toward their fellow man and walk in the light as He is in the light so in this vein I say No Not All Christians are Loving, Perfect People.

If Christians were perfect and loving we wouldn't need salvation or Jesus. Jesus said He did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Matt 9:13b NKJV We are a work in progress, being slowly transformed to be more like Jesus.
