Perfection
From as far back as I can remember, perfection has always been given as one of the many attributes of God.
He has been given every title and name and adjective we can name.
He must be Good.
Matthew5-48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
I have writen of the fact that we are born Perfect and that we are given a Perfect world in which to evolve towards the recognition of this fact of Perfection in all of us. Many have a hard time with this concept but coming out of the Perfection of God It must be so.
Is this fact correct or am I reading Matthew wrong as to him indicating that we can attain Perfection while on Earth.
Can Perfection produce imperfection?
If God does not create all Perfect then can He claim the title of God?
Would He tolerate a Perfect machine putting out defective product?
Would He not end a lousy production run?
This one attribute Perfection, gives Life to God or Kills Him.
If true then Eve had to be right.
If true there was no flood.
If true there is no Satan or hell.
If true then there are many more issues that will need revue.
Regards
DL

While this is an interesting topic, it is incomplete. Matthew is not enough of a source to start a conversation, unless you are a literalist. Since this is a Faith/Belief topic, expand on your beliefs.
Do you believe that God is perfect? Why does it mean that we must be perfect, aside from what scripture says?
