Refuting trinity.

As such, God cannot have aspects.

To prove this is quite simple. 

God cannot lack a perfection. And whatever perfection he has must be ultimate. But Ultimate by definition can only be God's Sheer self, ultimate life, as such his perfections are in reality not him, but ways we relate to his one sheer perfect reality, that has no divisions or aspects. For example suppose he had a hand like Wahabis say,  then the hand would be not God, and hence not divine, and God would have non-divine attribute, or he would have an equal, and his hand would be just as ultimate as him, which would make him no so ultimate. Both are absurd. Hence, if God exists, he is One.

His attributes we know of him are different than what he is.  They are brought down angles that we relate to him by but the point to in all that, in whatever aspect we call him by,  is sheer ultimate oneness.

And because the independent by which all depends is God, he cannot beget himself, lest the dependent and himself be equal. And another proof, is if he can eternally beget, he would not have created us, but only beget sons, as that would be the right thing to do from love's perspective.
Glob...

What if "perfection" is not a universal standard apart from God?

what if perfection simply describes whatever God is?

If God had to 'work to be perfect or had to mind what He did to retain that title then the idea of perfection supersedes what God is. Therefore the idea of perfection can only describe what God is despite how you may personally define it.
