Is God Perfect?
If you are in doubt whether God is perfect or not, just read Psalm 18:30. I am a man and i know how imperfect i can be. That's why i do not trust and depend on my fellow man. All my trust lies in the perfect God that is Serve. Basically i have summarised the answer to the question whether God is Perfect but stick with me through the biblical backings of what i just said.
Have you ever pondered about why God is God? I can unequivocally voice out that He is perfect!. Yes you heard me right. God is perfect. If you want to get a picture of how God really is, just imagine the life a perfect person.
God is light, pure light; there's not a trace of darkness in him. Light is a representation of something good whiles darkness depict something bad. Also pure unstained white is a depiction of holiness and as such God is holy. In God there is no darkness(evil) and it is actually evil to deceive. Anything classified evil cannot withstand the presence of God. That is His nature.
Perfect love describes God. He is someone who never has, and never will, do one selfish, self-centered, self-serving act that would harm anyone else.
God is a perfect expression of love. And if you dont know what love is, 1 Corinthians 13 describes it.
Everything God does is a perfect expression of unselfish love for others -for all those He has created. Why will a man give off His only begotten son to be sacrificed for a bunch of people? Its only an unselfish man that can do that. His love is actually perfect, without flaw and everlasting. As such, there is no two ways about the perfect nature of God. The word perfect exist not without God.
We were first created into a wonderful Garden called Eden. We lost our right to live to the devil due to disobedience and we were stained dirty. As Gods eyes cannot see evil, we lost the intimacy we had with Him.Our lives and this world are not now perfect, because mankind has turned away from God and rejected Him and His loving ways. We fell for a lie, and turned against God. His loving kindness nature couldnt allow Him to stand back and watch us perish so He Gave out His only begotten Son. Only if we would all turn back to God, He will make us perfect in His name. God is perfect and we are yet to be perfect. (But for His Grace, we will eventually be made perfect.) That is why we need to trust Him and follow His instructions, instead of trusting in our own ability and knowledge.
God's way is perfect. Why go any other way?
Beloved, Come and live in the perfection of the Lord by Giving your life to Christ Today.

If god is perfect, why did he supposedly create an imperfect world?
God never created an imperfect world. The bible says everything God created was perfect :
Satan's presence is what brought about imperfectness.
Who created Satan?
it is easy for your own creation to go against you ones you have given it a WILL. God created Satan but he wasn't corrupt at the beginning if you read account on his early life. Just like you and I when we were born, we were so pure and holy, never knew the things we know now. imperfectness exist in our world today because God gave His creation a WILL,"the power of choice". If God is to be in charge to decide and control all our affairs then we can blame Him for everything thing that happens to us.
If god created everything and had a plan for everything, wouldn't that corruption be created and intended by him too?
@rocking-dave, I like the way you keep bringing up important questions, I'm even inspired to write a post on what we are discussing.
The whole idea behind God's creation is a great mystery to unravel.
You must understand that God cannot be understood entirely, for His thoughts, ways and wisdom is deeper than us...
The day we understand God and become so familiar with Him, He ceases to be God. We as humans are very limited and it's only by grace we have had the chance to partly understand God through His word and by the enablement of His Spirit.
We cannot base on one premise that when corruption arises in God's creation it means He is to be held responsible and that makes Him imperfect.
God is a perfect God and in Him there is no darkness.
I don't know your religious background but it would be helpful to also read Job 9 for more detailed explanation concerning this topic.
It's very nice sharing ideas, I'm following you now to read more of your post.
And a BIG thanks to my wonderful friend and senior @tj4real for this great post.
I appreciate all your positive sentiment :)
That's a pretty bad metaphor here that doesn't correspond to the concept of god in any way. The concept of god is not a concept of an accidental parent, it's the concept of a all-knowing, all-powerful designer of everything according to a plan. If someone intentionally designs somebody else knowing full well that he is designing a robber, he bears responsibilities for the robberies carried out by his creation. That's the problem with your deity concept, he cannot be the all-powerful and all-knowing creator of everything and not be responsible for Satan.
And this contradiction shows that at least some of your premises are incorrect. Your mind is already capable of understanding that contradiction, so all the need to know god becomes irrelevant as your concept of him seems to be flawed. So he either doesn't exists, or if he does, he is not what you are saying or hoping he is. Other options lead to contradictions and impossibilities.
well , we all have our belief, that's your belief and that's mine so let's keep it that way
Yessss!!! Hes perfect @whats.happening.
God doesn't call the qualified but to qualify the called, He doesn't call the perfect but the imperfect to perfect because He is a perfect God. Word worth sharing, thanks@tj4real
