Do you have any book or article recommendations for studying perfect being theology?

I read that there is no consensus among historiticians about Jesus being buried. Chances of Jesus being buried are 50%, and the chances of Jesus being left in the cross are 50% as well. Does someone knows something about it?

Yet he believes in the absolute trinitarian theory as the most accurate God description.

How can God be perfect if we were created by him not to be? Where's the perfection in that? Flaw is not perfection, and all people are flawed. On top of that, we were born sinners. If anything, we're perfectly imperfect. Now I don't claim to be atheist or agnostic, but wow can you believe in salvation by faith alone when the only occurrence of “faith alone” in the Bible (James 2:24) says that salvation is not by faith alone? I find it all very confusing, and somewhat misleading.

This guy isn’t co soldered a good apologist is he? 😂

[benjamintrevino]

Yeah, the perfect being that watches humans struggle, many of them suffering horrible fates, in the imperfect world he created.

And for what? To see who will be like Job and sing his praises no matter what?

The biblical God is a sadistic demon.

Perhaps we should stop calling ourselves Christians and just start referring to ourselves as Perfect Being Theologists. And all who oppose us we shall call Satanists. Maybe that will send the message.
