PERFECTION IS POSSIBLE
Is "perfection" possible, in man?
I say "yes!"
I realize that my question is as controversial as my answer is debatable. So be it. I reiterate, "perfection is possible in man."
Jesus said, "Be you therefore perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect ." Matt. 5:48. https://www.bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.48.kjv
Elsewhere Jesus said, "If it were not so,I would have told you." John 14:2. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/…
A definition of perfection is:
"To live life in complete accordance with its governing coordinates."
Every leaf, drop of water, element, animal, bird, bacteria, or fish, is perfect. Each lives in accordance with its own governing coordinates.
Man can too. Man has too. Before the "fall," in the mighty megaliths of ancient Egypt we see perfection applied in geometry, astronomy, engineering , architecture, morality, philosophy . We acknowledge such perfection ritualistically in Masonry.
Just as surely as on earth evil and wickedness are possible, human perfection , their polar opposites are likewise possible on earth.
In the absence of knowing of the possibility of attaining earthly perfection; of even having sublime consciousness of such perfection, people amble about in imperfection always seeking, never finding: love, hope, joy, faith, happiness, home.
Make perfection your goal!
Perfection is being all you can be; doing all you can do; with what you have; where you are; with whom you can, to the glory of God, our Creator, and governing coordinate!
