*sigh*
Not sure if serious, or if intellectually dishonest...
You keep avoiding the point here. Your request is pointless with an *imperfect product* made by an alleged *perfect being*. Now, in what possible world would a perfect being capable of perfectly transmitting its message decide to do it imperfectly? That doesn't satisfy its *own* will, which is a ridiculous thing to happen to a perfect being.
What you fail to understand is that you assumptions are based on a legalistic understanding of the christian religion. God issues rules. one must follow rules in order to be a follower of God. therefore the media that God uses to communicate said rules must also be perfect. otherwise a perfect God can not be perfect as He has issued rules impossible to follow. Unfairness is a trait of a imperfect God.
I got your arguement. It's wrong, not a little wrong but Mormon wrong. At best you have some bastardized version of Catholicism your working with. Not biblical christianity. Are you still with me?
Drich... put the doctrinal bong down... you keep spewing Apologist 101 responses to a question I haven't asked.
Here's the issue:
God is perfect. God wishes to transmit a message. He can do this *perfectly*. The Bible *isn't* perfect. Therefore, his *own* wish hasn't been met by his *own* actions. God is not perfect.
