The problem has not been that "BIBLICAL PERFECTION" was preached.
The problem has either been
that it was not preached, or
that it was erroneously preached (saying that It is attained by human effort and legalism), or
that it was preached but not lived, or
that it was preached but not lived, or
that it was preached as a goal for which to strive, or
that it was preached but not reachable in this life, or
that it was preached only as an altar experience, rather than an essential and a life.
It is an essential, attainable and livable, work of grace.
In fact, IT IS SALVATION.
