What I have found is something written by someone on the subject. This person stated that it was ancient theologians who wrote about God being perfect...it was their belief. And that belief has permeated modern religion. It anyone can point me to areas in the Bible where God confirms His perfection, I would be very appreciative. It will help the op too!
There are sections in the Bible that make more sense to me if God is not perfect. The simplest example is the 613 laws of the Old Testament. These were given to man to follow even after Adam and Eve could not follow even one rule. Why would God expect His children to know and follow 613 Laws, when mankind showed in Genesis they could not follow one?..... unless He wanted us to fail??? God made a mistake...I think...and, after realizing man could never meet His standards, He sent us Jesus so His children could find salvation. There are numerous other examples but that is enough thread drift for now.
