God
God and Jesus Christ are the only two perfect beings. God created Jesus in likeness of His own image. From seeing Jesus’ example when he came to earth, we know a little more about what God was like.

    I promptly responded, Suddenly I realized that all my pages and pages regarding the evils of Satan were virtually lacking of what ‘I really wanted to relate;’ by my words I realized my “true desire” transpired as being deliberately vague.
