Talk:Christian perfection

Roman Catholic teaching section

This section seems to be off topic. It spends a lot of time debating whether "perfection" applies to God or not. But this article is not about whether God is perfect or not, but about the theology of Christian perfection—how Christians can pursue spiritual perfection in this life. I don't know enough about this topic to rewrite the section, but it does need to be re-written from a contemporary Roman Catholic theological perspective. Ltwin (talk) 19:46, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

I went ahead and just rewrote this section. It's essentially my summarizing of the Catholic Encyclopedia's article on the subject. Ltwin (talk) 07:38, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Perfection in George Fox, the founder of the Quakers

Reading through his journal - like you do - I was surprised to find him propounding Christian perfection in contradistinction to the attitudes of the Reformed churchmen around him. Yet there is no reference to his contribution / teaching in this article. Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 08:30, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

woefully incomplete

The perfectibility of man has been discussed in many modern works not mentioned or apparently consulted, and goes back to the difference between the Greeks and the Jews, if not further. A good place to start is with John Passmore's The Perfectibility of Man (1969) available online in several places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.145.174 (talk) 05:04, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Suspected error in quote

It probably should be "perfect love, as Christian love is called" not "as Christian perfect is called". Don't want to change with no access to source. St.nerol (talk) 18:40, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
