Re: A Perfect God
I believe God is Perfect, but not creation. Nowhere in Genesis does God ever say "Perfect". It's always referred to as "very good" or "good". Jesus wasn't attractive, the only reason why he was the "Perfect son of God" is because of his sinless nature.
"A person sickens and dies and we call this imperfect but we do not know that his lessons are all learned and God wants him in Heaven for a purpose or even to just make room on Earth."
That's the main difference between christians and most others who are not. As a christian, i fully understand that my human body, my shell, means nothing. Why should i care about what i look like on the outside if it's my soul that really matters? As for people who do not live in Christ and strive to be like Christ, their bodies are all they have and all they know, so they strive to perfect themselves.

Re: A Perfect God
"You say you believe in a Perfect God and from this Perfection only imperfection comes. Strange."
-that's not what i said, or meant.
God is Perfect, point said. Not even God said the universe was perfect either. All his creation as he said was "good" or "very good".
I get the feeling sometimes that if the world and the universe were perfect, there wouldn't need to be a God after that.
"At no point in time can God look at His reality and say oops I screwed up."
-only half correct. He did, however look at the world and feel sorry for creating man, and thus flooded it.

Re: A Perfect God
Lol.
Since you didn't point out what God you follow, it makes no sense to say you think he's better.
Gen 6:9-14
This is the account of Noah.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
NIV
Noah was righteous, but he was the only one, so God saved him and his family, and told him that He was going to set up his covenant with Noah. God DID start us on the right track. Mankind's selfish nature led to its own demise.
If your god is the one of the Bible, i believe you need to read more.
"Only those who do not believe in Jesus believe that the end of this earth will be a cataclysmic culling of mankind."
-Those who don't believe in Jesus don't go to heaven. Doesn't matter what the end of the world is, if you aint In Him, you aint In the Kingdom.
