If your god was perfection he wouldn't have needs, yet he demands worship. Needs to put people to the test to prove their loyalty, such as telling Abraham to sacrifice his son. Even though he would stop the sacrifice at the last minute, being supposedly omniscient he would have known Abraham was loyal, so why put him through such an ordeal? Hardly the kind of test of loyalty you would expect from an omniscient and perfect being.God is not a human being. He is the one and only true God, perfect in all attributes. He is omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent, loving, just, and wrathful in perfect proportion. We summarize this by saying the Triune God is holy. God is not of the world; he is the creator of the cosmos and everything in it. By definition his Word is true and correct in every respect because, being perfect in all attributes, he can speak no other way.
The Triune God is not a pagan god. He has no flaws, no blind spots, no weaknesses. He is not bound by space or time. He sees all things and knows all things. He has perfect Will.
Each Person of the Holy Trinity -- The Father; the Son, God's Word; and the Holy Spirit -- being in perfect Communion in forming the Triune God are also therefore perfect.
A being who needs to show that Job would be his loyal servant no matter what befell him, by allowing Job's family members to be killed and his possessions destroyed, and all this just so as he could put one over on satan. Very egotistical.
Not so sure about this god's omnipotence either. Apparently, he wasn't much help to Judah in a battle when faced with chariots of iron.
Reading through the bible, death and destruction seem to be this god's answer to anything that upsets it. I don't associate death and destruction with perfection.
