Question What is perfection in GOD's point of view?

During creation, GOD was happy about every thing that he created. This includes Adam and Eve. When GOD creates something it’s perfect, therefore Garden of Eden and it’s inhabitants were perfect.

Therefore we have to believe that Adam and Eve were perfect spiritually and physically. It leads me to the question, what is perfection? And what is quality in GOD’s point of view?

Spiritual perfection is clear, it’s no sin.

But how GOD defines, physical perfection?
In GOD’s measurements, what is the perfect height of a man for him to be perfect? (Example for understanding: Is it 4 feet or 6 feet?)

In GOD’s measurements, what size a woman has to be for her to be perfect?
(Example for understanding: Is it size 6 or 12?)

This leads to heaps of other questions as well …… : ) such as pimples, freckles, laugh lines, wisdom lines (forehead), dimples on cheek, birth marks, color of hair, eyes, skin, size of nose, ears, chest, size of other things…, number of teeth and their uneven sizes, finger nails, eyebrows, eye lashes, abs, wide or narrow feet…etc

If God thought there were physical perfection, I think he would have made us all the same.

In the Father's eyes Jesus Christ is perfection. We will not see this until we receive our glorified bodies at the resurrection.

Default the term is usually meaningless

The term "perfection" in most circumstances has no concrete meaning. In human terms, to be free of sin is perfection. But that, in and of itself, does not grant any real virtue. Eve was "perfect" before the fall, she was also fooled by a sales pitch that wouldn't impress a modern 5 year old.
She was "perfect", and also naive, ignorant, etc. This is one of the main
reasons that God has allowed evil to prosper, for a person to become truly perfected they need to be tried and tested. Just as gold is purified by fire,
so saints are purified by suffering and trials.
On another note, both canaries and daffodills are perfectly yellow, and very different. Oh, and the perfect height of a man is 5' 11 1/2 ".

Who is perfect- that inner man God places in you when you are truly born again.

Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

1Jn 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

He did make us all the same, God created everything perfectly. We allowed sin and death to corrupt what God had made.

If we know anything about God, we know that variety is prefection. If God wanted a bunch of computers built exactly the same way He would have done that. Our persieved image of perfection is flawed at best.
