Does God expect 100% adherence to his rules? [Spirituality & Religion]
Is less than 100% "allowable" based on individual and social circumstances?

He expected that we would sin (be disobedient to his commandments) and that is why we have repentance.
Repentance allows us to be forgiven and have sins washed away. Repentance isn't just saying sorry and being absolved. It's a change of heart, a turning away from sin. Repentance is also making restitution (as far as we are able).
God is merciful and looks upon the heart. That is why He is our judge and not other people. They cannot see our heart.

@PhlipipUK My life experiences have helped me to know.
@midnightrose Do you care to elaborate on that so that ignorant people like me might be able to understand.

@PhlipipUK The world is governed by universal laws, as well as all that inhabit this world. That much has been known through scientific discovery.
There is also universal truth. Throughout my life I have tried to find it. I have felt led to places at specific times in my life that have made truth better known to me.
Much like others have been led to ask questions about the world and they came to greater understanding through their close observations. I have pondered it in my mind and had moments where my knowledge and understanding of what's true has been confirmed to me.

We are to do our best, but He knows we will fall short of perfection. If we could live a sinless life, then there was no need for Jesus to die on the cross.

If God exists I don't think it would expect you to just die at the hands of aggressors and never fight back with deadly force.

Do aliens kidnap someone every day and replace them with replicants?
Only if you believe in such fairytales
