Doesn't change anything - was agreeing with you in reference to the many religions that do have an imperfect God based on their understanding of God and additional traditions or rituals applied.
Yes, but the judgement of whether or not that God is 'perfect' is entirely yours. How do you come to the conclusion that one God is perfect whereas another is not? You say "based on their understanding . . . or rituals", but what about them reveals imperfection, and on what basis do you make that judgement?
Until you define perfection, I don't see how you can identify or demonstrate imperfection.
Actually I did not start this thread, nor did I claim God was imperfect. The religious peoples of all denominations and nations have by their own hand defined God as imperfect based on what I said already ... attaching rituals and traditions to religion, which are against the very bible they say they stand behind. Will explain more later.
Religions that celebrate the Trinity I can't really say teach of ONE Perfect God...it's worshiping 3 entities and "claiming" they are part of a while to explain it away lol.
Trinity already discussed. And agreed.
For some reason not many people take the time to learn the most basic parts of the other major religions.
That is true, but I have studied Judaism, Muslims' religion of Islam, Irminism, Paganism, the occult, Gnosticism as a religion (not agnosticism) and the many branches of Christianity, among others.
As I said earlier, unless you have a quantifiable measure for 'perfection' this entire discussion is a waste of time.
To answer this and expand more upon Wilmore's post - I will use Catholicism for example. My own mother taught religion for Sunday school classes, and she taught idolatry was not scriptural and against God, and as one example she gave the Golden Cow that was erected and worshipped in biblical times. But my mother prays to saints, (St Jude and St Christopher) and bows her head in front of statues, and kneels down in front of statues, and prays to Jesus' mother with the "Hail Mary," and yet that is idolatry. She still prays that way today. I love my mother, but she is still a hypocrite.
First of all St Christopher was never a saint, or a holy one, or an annointed one, or an apostle, or disciple, or did anything particularly noteworthy, yet she and other Catholics pray to him. Why? In fact there is no mention of Christopher in the Bible at all that I know of. For that matter why does she pray to St Jude, instead of St Mark, St Luke, St Matthew or Saint John? In
her Bible the 4 gospel writers all have the word St (saint) in front of them, but she does not pray to them. I am not saying she should, only that her reasoning to pray to St Jude is flawed. (and tradition)
She also has a statue of baby Jesus, in which she prays with a Novena, which is a 9-day prayer. Why 9 days? Why not 8 or 10? Why is 9 so important? In fact the use of numbers in the bible shows that 7, 10 and 12 reflect allness or completeness not 9. Not that I am saying she should say the prayer 7, 10 or 12 times, just that her reason for 9 times is flawed. (and ritualistic) Moreover this statue shows Jesus so rudely depicted with a bejeweled crown, and clad in red velvet robe with fur-lined trim. Jesus was a humble carpenter and never dressed this way. He would not have wanted that for himself nor would he want anyone to pray that way or imagine him that way. Again flawed.
Like I said earlier - rituals and tradition. The One true God does not need rituals or traditions, thereby the people of certain religions assigning such rituals and traditions to their god has in effect made their god not perfect.
