Theists: What do you mean when you say that God is 'perfect'?
#23
RE: Theists: What do you mean when you say that God is 'perfect'?
Maybe this is a good way of simplifying it into a quick answer:

"God is absolute in his perfection in that there is nothing lacking in his character or nature. He does not need anything or anyone to exist. He is complete within Himself."
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
