Not even Jesus comes close by his own admission

I’m unaware of any such admission, and the Bible is full of claims that he was without sin. A load of bollocks, yet that’s what is written.

"Let he who is free of sin throw the first stone" when he was being tested by some troublemakers. He didn't, they didn't, nobody is free of sin (forgoing virtue for one's own convenience). Don't forget Jesus was a wandering rabbi who got murdered by the empire and whose image was then co-opted to Frankenstein a religion by that same empire (which then selected carefully which writings to include, erase and prioritise in the NT). Jesus was a Jew, a monotheist who prayed to God, the only truly good being ("And Jesus said unto him, “Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but One, that is, God"; Mark 10:18), and those who believe like him do not believe he's some anthropomorphic, infallible deity like some sort of morally decent Zeus or something, that's that Roman spin.
