Do you consider matter to be imperfect because it changes?
If matter didn't change and adapt we would have no solid, no liquid and no gas. Matter can exist in any time, place, environment and yet you consider it imperfect because it adapts in order to do so.
Perfect matter would support your argument about a perfect god as a perfect god could not create imperfect matter.
Following this anything made of matter would be perfect, meaning life is perfect.
You claim the soul/spirit is not made of matter so if you want to say it is imperfect that wouldn't hurt the argument either.
Please explain for me.
Thank you.

No person is perfect.

Yes, to your first question. Two, if something needs to adapt, then it is not perfect. Three, a perfect God could create imperfect matter, since he created imperfect humans (and don't start arguing humans are perfect). So, there you go.

Gods perfection doesnt rely on the creation of perfect matter.
There are passages in scripture indicating that HE decides about the perfection or imperfection of his creation.
(he is pictured there as someone creating a vase and then destroying the vase or using it for other purposes just as he pleases)
Argueing that matter would be somewhat imperfect could result on the point of view because matter compared to ernergy has the disadvantage of being unstable and tending to become energy again..

You can't just lump Christians together and stereotype a question. First, you compare matter to God. I'm not sure where you got that. Second, you state that matter is imperfect. Third, you make another statement that doesn't make sense. Fourth, life is made of matter? Fifth, this makes no sense. Now you want us to explain this to you. Come up with something rational first.

Even things that are imperfect are perfect because God created them. Ever heard of perfect imperfections?

Change doesn't mean something is imperfect, but it's obvious, the cosmos is not perfect. Otherwise, in mathematics, we wouldn't get undefined solutions such as black holes, and be able to account for the extra gravitational pull of supposed dark matter neutrinos...

matter isn't perfect... "commonly defined as the substance of which physical objects are composed". If matter was perfect then bridges wouldn't collapse. There are not perfect structures in nature and so no states of perfection...
Not to say that this lack of perfection is bad... it does a lot of interesting things.
Oh, and matter can't exist in any "time, place, enviroment..." it's limited to the dimensional laws in which it inhabits. For example, matter could not exist in a mass of anti-matter...

The only one who is perfect is God. He created man perfect in all his ways and in a perfect world. Perfect and serene, creek water flowing, morning mist in the air, birds chirping, sunshine, clear blue sky, the fragrance of flowers blooming..... Until Sin was discovered by Adam And Eve. It was planted there by Satan. The enemy of all that is Holy. Remember, If Satan had never tempted Adam & Eve.. there would be no sin, evil, crime, rape, war, murder, death....etc. And we would still be living on an earth I mentioned above. hmm??? People should think twice before they blame God
People like to blame God for the evil in the world, but that shows they never opened the bible; IT'S THE FIRST CHAPTER IN THE BOOK. lol

No, there are other things that are perfect besides God. He didn't create things to be imperfect. Man was created perfect, angels were created perfect, etc.etc

No, Christians DON'T argue that nothing is perfect except God. We don't argue the point because it just IS. People like you who throw intellectual boondoggles in the face of truth will, unfortunately, never see the light until it is the flickering hellfire of eternity.

Is matter a person? And to address your question, I don't care what it is, it has a tendency to change. God is the only constant. I said it, I stand by it and that settles it for me. And lastly, to be quite frank, you have too much time on your hands. Thanks for the points though. May God Bless
