Have you seen the two times I replied to your point? I have already explained why it is so.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. I think you're stretching the Bible to fit your beliefs, when you don't even believe in the Bible.

If I were not perfect then I would not have had these human experiences. |
You're not perfect. No one is. Imperfection manifests itself in many ways. I just mentioned a few, and yes those things are imperfect, or something an imperfect person would do. Do you disagree?
We all fall short even of our own standards. If God has standards, then I imagine we fall short even more.
That's only to say we try to be better. But no one can ever say they are perfect.
