God actually tells Zacharia to tell the people how he has "grown with experience." <br /><br />Matthew writing that people have to be "perfect" to get to Heaven is Jesus setting a goal for us. We must strive to be perfect, yet he is wise enough to know no human can be perfect.<br /><br />If God truly expected humans to be perfect, he wouldn't have much company, if any at all.Rick Freahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132949384071592216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-58426906259912765082011-01-30T07:44:09.329-05:002011-01-30T07:44:09.329-05:00The assumption that God isn't perfect is a sli...The assumption that God isn't perfect is a slippery slope that can lead to justification of just about any action. <br /><br />The whole notion of God evolving along with human society leads to a moral relativist argument that could go like this; "I'm not perfect and neither is God - just look at the bible - I'm learning as I go just like he did." <br /><br />I'm not saying I have the answer, I'm just concerned that your argument of an evolving God doesn't quite work for me. <br /><br />"Be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."
