Are you trying to tell us that God and Jesus - who are supposedly two parts of a trinity, and in other accounts one and the same - are disagreeing about your perfection? If that is true, then Jesus must be wrong, because God is supposedly "all knowledge", and presumably that covers knowledge about your perfection too. You see, ICANT, all this holy periphrastic mumbo-jumbo does, is get you in a logical knot only atheism can untangle.
To stay on topic, here's something I heard the other day in a lecture on Science vs. Religion.
The premise of Intelligent Design is that from the irreducible complexity of human design we can infer a human designer, and likewise, by analogy, from supposedly irreducible complexity in nature we can infer an intelligent designer there as well.
From human design history we know that
more complexity implies
more designers. We know that only a team of human designers is capable of designing something as complex as a computer, no single human can design a computer on his own. By analogy then, something as complex as the whole of living nature, if we allow the possibility of intelligent design, is more indicative of a
team of designers than of a single designer. Since the ID-proponents' hidden agenda is to promote the Christian doctrine, as the Wedge document has shown, they shoot themselves in the foot with Intelligent Design, because, if anything, it promotes pagan polytheism more than their beloved Christian monotheism.
