Doesnt an imperfect God make more sense?

Question

Wouldnt that eliminate many of the paradoxes with the concept of God?

Answer 1

Yes, that would make more sense. Like a scientist who invents beuatiful nuclear things, and had no idea we'd do such horirble things with it. A God that would have created humans, thinking those humans would simply love eachother makes much more sense.

It would, for example, explain why God created lust. Lust is not wrong when humans would simply love eachother and fall in love with one person, etc, etc.

God as a scientist who meant well, but sorta screwed up during his inventions makes more sense to me than the Biblical God.

Answer 2

It makes perfect sense to me. I think its illogical to assume that a higher power is perfect. If nature and humankind is a reflection of God, and they are imperfect, then it stands to reason that God is also imperfect. In my opinion, God is evolving just as we are, albeit on a larger scale! Perfection is an illusion anyways. Whats wrong with thinking of our higher power as an entity that is evolving and growing just as the rest of the universe is. It doesn't make God any less important. Geesh..maybe it will take a bit of the pressure off the old guy.

In the whole sceme of things maybe imperfection is perfection. Theres that wonderful paradox again..my confirmation of the divine!!!

Answer 3

Adam and Eve have been created appropriate—bodily and mentally. God even gave them a appropriate ethical start up, for he implanted in guy a feeling of right and incorrect. it is the reason the apostle ought to top say that God’s regulation is ‘written in adult adult males’s hearts.’ (Rom. 2:15) ought to that appropriate human pair sin? Or, to be appropriate, ought to they be incapable of sinning, made so as that they could in basic terms obey, in basic terms bypass in the spectacular way, on no account deviate from the direction defined for them? in case you made a device, say an vehicle, you may make it so as that it constantly went in the direction you grew to become the steerage wheel, might you not? So, then, shouldn't the 1st human pair have been like that with the intention to be appropriate? No. Why not? because of the fact they weren't made to be machines, to accomplish like machines. God, the Maker, purposed that they should exercising unfastened ethical corporation, that's, be waiting to make own ethical judgements, % between appropriate and incorrect, between obedience and disobedience. submit to in techniques, the Maker instruments the criteria and standards, his will governs. subsequently, if the human pair had not had this potential to %, they might unquestionably have been incomplete, imperfect, in accordance to God’s standards.—evaluate Genesis 2:15-17; 3:2, 3; Deuteronomy 30:19, 20; Joshua 24:15.

Answer 4

It depends on your outlook. Some people prefer to think of everything bad and horrid being "Part of God's plan" instead of thinking that maybe there isn't a God, maybe He/She/It isn't infallible, or whatever would ruin their religious world view.

Answer 5

It would also be consistent with the depiction of God in the Old Testament.

Answer 6

I think all that would do is add fuel to the fire of people who don't believe. A prefect, loving God DOES make sense.

Answer 7

Probably- I think he is testing us each individually, so he couldn't know already or why test us, however, I think he knows what the future of the world is.

Answer 8

I think,it all make perfect sense,

Answer 9

Yeah, it would make his existance possible. But then, he wouldn't really be a God would he?

Answer 10

That would explain my allergies...

If naturalistic atheism doesn't pan out, I'll join your church.
