Collaboration: Perfection Discussion

This assignment aligns with the following course objective: Identify the Biblical concept of perfection.

Read chapters 1-2 in your textbook by Greathouse, William M. (1998). "Wholeness in Christ: Toward a Biblical Theology of Holiness".

Have you ever heard someone say: "I'm not perfect, just forgiven", or perhaps: "God does not expect us to be perfect."? Perhaps you have even spoken similar phrases yourself in an attempt to magnify the grace of God. In this discussion, you will discuss what the idea of Biblical perfection is based upon the reading from Greathouse. It is important for you, as a student, to have a correct understanding of what Biblical perfection is and God's expectations surrounding holiness.

Prepare to discuss perfection. Address the following questions:

Are believers called to relative perfection or absolute perfection?
What is the difference?
How would you translate the Old Testament word for "perfect" into today's language using Greathouse's definitions?

A paragraph or two paragraphs will be enough.
