And he made us in his Image, then that would make us Perfect and everything that he creates Perfect. Nothing of Flaw can come from a Perfect Creator.
That said, Why do we sin? Each and every single person ever known to exist has sinned, will sin, and is sinning. Does that mean Sinning is also Perfect?
Or does the concept of being Perfect also include Flaws.
I don't know what I'm talking about anymore excuse me while I serve myself some Tea.

No no no You aren't understanding. Free-Will and disobeying God does not make us Imperfect, because God is PERFECT:
It is impossible for something IMPERFECT to come from something PERFECT. It is NOT possible.

Being made in the image of God means we have the ability to think and reason. Man was perfect until the fall. It was his choice that made us unlike God.

laughing at the tea comment. Cute.
Yes He did make us perfect, but He also gave us choice. As the book of Genesis outlines, Adam and Eve disobeyed God; He told them to keep their hands off a certain tree in the garden, and they did not. That is what's known as "the fall of man", and it's when sin entered the world. Fast forward a few millennium, and this is what sin has come to, our present evil world.
But Jesus is our Redeemer. Not only will faith in Him save us from our sins, He will come again and will rule over the earth one day...and all will be made right.

I believe that Adam and Eve were the perfect humans that God created. He gave them a perfectly good free will and they disobeyed Him and thus became imperfect by the choice they made. God is perfect , and every good and perfect gift comes from God.

Well if if you know that God created people in his image then you should know that we have the freedom to make choices (choosing right from wrong) He gave us free will. God can do what ever he wants to because he is God so he made us like him and gave us free will but because some people chose to do bad he had to set some guidelines for other people to follow so they wouldn't chose the bad stuff ( u know the 10 commendments and the bible).

God is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself.
We are small perfect complete units, like a small particle a gold from a mountain gold or a drop a water from the ocean, for miss using our free will we loss that perfectness, and being small we are prone to be cover by ignorance, ignorance cannot cover God because ignorance emanates from Him and is subordinated to Him.
That ignorance separate us from God, that is call imperfectness, like a screw fall off from a machine, the screw losses its value and become imperfect, but if it is put back again it become perfect. Similarly, we have fallen from our perfect condition by miss using our free will, but if we connect again to God, by acquiring perfect knowledge we will become perfect.

Well,First of all, God is absolute perfection. "We all fall short of the glory of God" If you look into a mirror you see your image, but it's not exactly you. It doesn't think it is just your image. We were created in the image of God, but not with the grace that God has. He is perfect and we are not, even if we resemble His image.

In response to the answers above. If we were perfect before the fall, then why did we fall? Because of a bad decision? So if you're perfect you can make a bad decision? So if God's perfect, he can make bad decisions?
Your answers make no sense....
