Perceived roundaboutness in the Bible

[Hardcore Newbie]

You took my 1st statement wrong I did not mean that a perfect person remains perfect once they choose the wrong way. Once you choose to go agenst God's laws (due to pride you have let build up). You are no longer perfect. Pride Comes from Freewill you have the ablity to choose to not do it Gods way.

Perfection is not only the Ablity to but the Adhearce of, to remain in the perfect state. All perfection is really is the ablity of and the following of God's laws to the Letter.

Again, after showing you that you're using two definitions for the idea of perfect, you state that you're not doing so, and proceed to use two definitions


Did adam adhere to God's word? No, so by your second definition he can not be perfect.

How can a perfect being act in a way to make itself imperfect? Wouldn't a perfect being refrain from any action that would cause imperfection, by the nature of the word "perfect" itself? Please reply with something about free will. If this is true, and sin is inherited, does this mean we are held accountable, in God's eyes, for every sin of our forefathers? Rating: 5
