  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

personally i believe that the only other thing that is perfect, besides God, would be the birth of a child. Think about it. The child is born into this world completely free of sin, innocent of all this world has to throw at us. No matter how or why the child was conceived, he/she is still perfect in the eyes of our Lord.

This may sound like I'm splitting hairs but I guess the answer to this question would depend on how you define "perfect."

My first instinct was to say that we were created perfectly as God intended, but that may confuse some people. I don't think God's intention was for us ever to be "perfect," or else we would be.

And, as the father of 3 children, I seriously don't think children, even newborn babies, are "perfect" in behavior.

I do, however, think that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Anyway, what did you mean by "perfect?"

Thanks,
God bless

We humans are perfectly unperfect...humans beings is an perfect example of a unperfect creature!

...understand???
is this true?:holy:
You have a good point there, it is interesting.
But I do not think that "perfectly imperfect" can exist - because there is no "imperfect ideal," therefore nobody can ever attain that ideal and be "perfectly imperfect."

Its a real good question though!!

I agree. I don't think it can exist. We are not perfect, so we can't possibly be perfectly imperfect.
