RE: If "god" is perfect, then how come he made humans imperfect?

Question

I posted this Q a few minutes ago. Some people said first we were perfect then God gave us knowledge of evil. WELL IF WE WERE ALREADY PERFECT WE WOULD HAVE THAT KNWLEDGE ANYWAY. WE HAVE ALL KNOWLEDGE CAUSE WE WERE PERFECT!!

Answer 1

God made man perfect.
Man CHOSE to give it up.
The problem is with man, not God.

Answer 2

I think that the only answer is that God simply did not create humans, nor animals, nor anything. Perhaps he doesnt even exist. That's a vey good question that I don't think anyone of this guys who are in the side of god will give you a good answer that you'll say "whoa, how could I not know that". They'll just give you answers that will confuse you and make you make more questions. Example: Some people will tell you that at the beginning, humans were perfect, just like God. But God told them to not eat that apple they all talk about. However, at the end, both ate the apple. This is enough to prove that these two guys were not perfect. You don't have to listen to those who say that evil got into them... that would also prove they were not perfect. Anyway, what is the point of being perfect??? If you are perfect, you dont even need to live! You are all satisfied, you don't have problems, you don't need to do nothing because you have everything. If a kid is playing on his computer, it's because he wants to have fun, something he does not have that much before he starts to play. If God is perfect, why did he create the world. To answer himself some questions??? He's perfect!! He already knows everything!!!!!!Have a nice day.

Answer 3

Ahh another question that requires the presence of logic!

Because if there was more than 1 infinitely perfect being:

The 2 would LIMIT the effect so as to mark of its perfections from other things. Hence a being that is independent of causes, as a necesssary being is, is INDEPENDENT of the limitation which causes impose.
Thus the first cause is free from limitation, in other words infinite. Now such a being is unique. THERE CANNOT BE MORE THAN ONE INFINITE BEING. BECAUSE IF THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE, there would be a distinction betwweent the two. This distinction would be LIMItation. None would be infinite.

Example :
2 infinite beings: A &B

A has perfections in unlimited degree. B also as it is also infinite, has perfections to an unlimited degree. If A & B are not identical, (and thus one) There is a defect and a limitation in A, inasmuch that it does not have the perfections that are properly B's. And vice versa.

Unless A&B are 1 and identical, neither is infinite. We conclude that there is only 1 NECESSARY BEING. because a necessary being is infinite. Hence the first necessary cause is 1 & INFINITE and therefore cannot be the cause of another infinite being.

So we can only have 1 infinitely perfect being.

If we were all perfect beings then there would be none of us here!

Answer 4

The acquisition of the knowledge of good and evil may be a point of debate regarding the definition of perfection. Setting that aside, I'd like to propose that taking the fruit against God's commandment thrust Adam and Eve into opposition to absolute goodness. What God did was make us with the ability to choose obedience or disobedience. Without this freedom we could not technically choose to love God; we'd be automatons. He knew we would choose evil, and that's why He made a way of redemption. If you continue to hold God to your standards, you will never understand the God of the Bible. His ways are not our ways.

Answer 5

If everyone are perfect everyone will become GOD so he made everyone to be imperfect.

There must be a person to commit sin to be forgiven by the Almighty and there must a person to do good things to recieve blessings from the Almighty.

Only if there is a person to ask there is a person to answer that's the point with this creation.

Answer 6

He did not make them perfect (incapable of sin) but rather in the image of God. Thus they have been set to a higher standard than the rest of the worldly Creation being given the ability to acquire knowledge, understanding, and wisdom; from this they may make knowledgeable and wise personal choices, which may lead to sin (turning away from God).

Satan was the first to do so, for sin is synonymous with a desire to be the Lord of one's own life.

Isaiah 14
13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Answer 7

In my opinion, this can be answered in so many ways. One way is to say that "god" (sic) was created by man. Since man is imperfect, than "god" is imperfect. I prefer to believe that God made man in his image, but did not make him all knowledgable. Instead, he gave us free choice.

Answer 8

Do you read the bible. God made us perfect and gave us the right to choose "free will" and then we fell into sin.

Answer 9

Human beings are imperfect and therefore can create only imperfect deities.

Christians should know that Jesus told them to BE PERFECT, to be GODLIKE, to be LIKE GOD. That's in the bible. Perfection cannot be achieved in one life. You must be born again. He said that too.

Answer 10

We weren't perfect in the sense that you are using the word. We weren't all knowing. We were sinless. We sinned and sin caused a great chasm between us and God. Jesus has bridged that chasm.

Answer 11

When God was finished creating things he said they were good, not perfect. We are just creations of God that carry his image, we are not Jesus. So youre upset that you werent born like Jesus?
