That makes zero sense. But it's no surprise you're unable to compartmentalize.

No it isn't. How is it "obviously wrong"? It makes sense.

That makes no sense at all. You're basically admitting there that BEFORE God created creatures to have a relationship he was lacking something and therefore imperfect. If God has always been perfect then there would be no possible further value to add.
Kind of ridiculous that you say what I say is obviously wrong and then you say something that is not only very obviously wrong but it seems to only further support my own position lol.
Yes, before God created creatures to have a relationship with he was lacking something...relationships.
'Perfect' in NO WAY means cannot be added to--especially experiences. For you proposition to be true, God would have to be pretty much a machine--not a person.
