Can you give up the story that you are imperfect? If God is perfect, and nature is perfect, then why do we believe that humans are the only imperfect creations of God?

twinsma-forget the old story. Write your own. You ARE perfect, and never forget it.
feistysback- do mistakes make us imperfect, or just people capable of making mistakes?

Sometimes not even God is able to reprogram those thoughts. When a parent has no love for you, only hate, your main focus becomes "what is wrong with me?" I'm trying to give up that story, the one where I am bad and worthless... I appreciate the reminder that we are all perfect and loved and wanted in God's eyes. Thank you.

Who told humans are imperfect creations? God created everything in a perfectly planned way.
Human have been given the ability to obey or disobey God's orders. If someone disobeys God's orders then his/her actions are imperfect. Human will be judged by God for their actions in the afterlife.

it is because we humans believe in the story of the fall of man in Genesis chapter 2(i prefer reading the NIV).
it was written that Eve was tempted by the serpent to disobey God's command. Adam disobeyed, too. Because of this, their fellowship with God was broken. Thus, the thinking of imperfection.

No I am not perfect!
The Bible says that our efforts at doing “good deeds” are not acceptable in the sight of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). God alone is holy. God alone is good. So, God has made a way for sinful human beings to enter into His heaven.

god created us in his likeness, but he has given us the right to choose what we believe, there for we can't be perfect..unless, we never make a mistake.. if there is someone out there that can say they have never made a mistake, id like to hear from them..until then i will believe that only god is perfect, for he created us all and only he knows all the rules..strictly my opinion

In what way humans are the only imperfect creation of God? I know for a fact that lions kill people, don't they?

Man was created perfect, but he rebelled against God and lost that perfect nature. So man has a sinful nature now.
Man was not created to kill other men, nor was men created to lie, steal or Mame one another.

Well there's probably alot more imperfections in nature. Like people being born with diabilities, allergies, disease, etc.

Nothing and no one is perfect, you are flawed for a reason. And you cannot prove that a god even exists.
