God is perfect. When atheist offer the argument that he is not they are looking at it in an awfully wrong way
first off you cannot refute a God on the grounds that he is imperfect,
if someone tells you that an almighty lion is in the next room, and you can in no way know if is there
Of course for whatever reason you may find this silly
So he says the lion is going to judge you for your homosexuality (lets suppose you are gay)
Now it may be rational to say I don't believe in the lion because he is not "realistic"
but to refute him on the grounds that his law is imperfect is faulty
several clauses
a.The moral law does not exist outside of the lion, so he sets the bar for what is right and wrong
b.If the lion knows all then, he knows the true right and wrong, if he is perfect he would not do the wrong thing
(b.1) if the dragon did anything it would have to be seen as perfect. he is the only perfect example of perfection.
(b.2) if he is responsible for right and wrong then he would know the right and wrong thing. nothing he could do would be wrong, unless
he says he does no wrong
and does wrong
which has never happened
----
In the Bible Good sets a standard for and of himself and meets that standard.
He states what perfection is and then fulfills it
If you want to determine if he is imperfect you have to use the only actions and standards of him...
as you know this goes into much deeper detail, I don't mind engaging

Questions to answer:
What Standard must we use to determine God's sovereignty
Can you refute a being based on your standard of him?
How was your day

Thanks for reading at any rate....
