Perfection

The Christian god, who is considered perfection, existed in perfection by himself for an eternity. Being perfect, he needed nothing more. He had to be perfect all by himself, because god is considered perfection. However, he then decided that he needed to add to perfection and created the heavens and the Earth. Now how can perfection be improved? It is impossible for perfection to become more perfect. Therefore, the addition of the heavens and the Earth either maintained the status or reduced the status.

Do Christians believe that the current status of the universe is perfect? Why, no they do not. Therefore, this perfect god purposefully subtracted from his perfection by making the heavens and the Earth. How does that make any sense for a god who cannot abide sin or imperfection?

He is all knowing and therefore, knew this addition would diminish perfection. In addition, even though he knew this addition to his perfection would diminish it, and he is the cause of this reduction of perfection for creating the heavens and the Earth in the first place, he blames man for this.

It also sets up a logical incompatibility. If the perfection that god had has been reduced, that means gods perfection itself has been reduced. But god is perfect, and all powerful, which means it cannot be reduced. But it has been reduced with the introduction of the heavens and the Earth. There cannot simultaneously be a reduction in perfection and no reduction in perfection. Which shows that the biblical concept of god cannot exist.

Heaven is also considered a perfect place. Christians are always talking about how wonderful it will be when they get to heaven. However, heaven cannot be a perfect place. Lucifier rebelled in heaven. Revelation 12:7-9 (New International Version) "7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

If an angel can rebel there, then sin can be in heaven, which means that heaven cannot be considered perfect. However, god also lives in heaven. 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us that God listens to us from heaven....."if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.". In Matthew 23:9, the Lord Jesus Christ told us that God the Father lives in heaven....."And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven." God cannot abide sin, or imperfection. Therefore, since heaven cannot be perfect, god cannot live there. However, according to the bible, god does live in heaven. We have another logical impossibility.
