By being absolute knowledge and seeing himself perfectly.

No it's actually the only possible source of objective perception. We ourselves know we err. We mix falsehood with truth. We exaggerate. We underestimate. We see what we want to see with our sheer desires. God's standard of perfection is himself. He is sheer perfection with the utmost standard of perfection.




Quote:If my objective measurement of value is different than that of God's, that means there is a difference of opinion, that God's is not the only measurement of value, therefore his standard cannot possibly be the objective standard.
No one said there isn't subjective value, it's just that our subjective value is always done with belief there is objective value and hence an objective standard, even though we aren't the standard.
