I imagine that we'll find that our positions are nothing more than opinion.
As to vengeful: yes, I think that it can be appropriate to desire that wrongs be avenged. How is that a problem? Didja see The Avengers? They were the heroes, not the villains.
Just so as not to lose track lets summarize a bit. Feel free to query the summation if you must:
- We have defined God as the "perfect being."
- We have agreed that we cannot agree what defines perfection.
- We have therefore shifted our focus to identifying imperfections
- We have taken a series of imperfections from a Christian list (the seven deadly sins) to ensure agreement.
- We have applied these to God, using the Bible as our source.
How can we not, therefore, conclude that God is not the perfect being?
