    It’s an acknowledgement that no human can be perfect the way that God is perfect, no matter what.

    Does the scriptures speak towards why God is perfect, and why we’re imperfect?

    Specifically, if we’re made in God’s image, then doesn’t that mean God is not perfect either, or that we were purposely made imperfectly?

      This is a close cousin to the problem of pain. Many smarter people than I have debated both around and around for centuries, and come no nearer an answer than when they started. The Bible gives us a how, and a who, but not a why. Honestly I wish there was more, but alas.
