[Commie Basher]

But GOd is NOT pleased by good works since all our good works are imperfect.

But God made us imperfect, so why wouldn't he be pleased if we do the best we can with what he gave us?

Would a Just God who made us imperfect expect us to be perfect?

[kkindt]

You assume He made us imperfect but why do you do so?

Your logic is this:
1. we are imperfect now
(this is correct)
but then you assume
2. whatever is true now must always have been true about us
(this is like saying whatever is always was?)

We were made perfect. We corrupted ourselves. God gave human beings the free will in the beginning to obey Him out of love and respect or disrepect HIm and corrupt themselves.

He gave the responsibility and power to our first parents to maintain our purity and perfection but our first parents disobeyed and so corrupted themselves and all of us for we were in them - we are by inherited nature evil but that inherited nature is NOT the original nature God gave our first parents.

Yes - I know - some think that GOd is unfair for having made our first parents responsible for keeping all of human nature perfect - but who are we to say to God He is unfair if He made us perfect and gave the responsibility to maintain that perfection to our first parents? It is His choice and He, after all, knows best.
