Perfect and Imperfect it's a fallacy

A few weeks ago I watched over youtube the debate about Tawhid and Trinity between Mr. Shabir Ally and Mr Nabeel Qureshi. I was impressed by the interesting and nice discussion held. As personal conclusion from this debate, I posted on tweeter that Shabir Ally had very interesting challenges that were not answered fro matter of time. However that those arguments, though interesting are not truth. As you would expect, some people challenged my opinion saying that all what Mr Ally had said is true. Even, someone challenged any christian scholar to refute the challenges made by Mr Ally. This statement was done by the administrator of the youtube channel Muslim By Choice. I must say in all fairness that the answer to my tweet is appropriate. Hence I decided promising to post in the youtube channel Muslim by Choice my answers to 3 challenges:

1. Why not worshiping the Torah, if the Torah is eternal? (answer found here)
2. Jesus can't be God and Man because that would mean He was both perfect and imperfect
3. How do we know there are not more than 3 persons in the Godhead? (answer found here)

The Argument

Dr Ally appealed to logic to dispute the view of Christ deity. His argument was that if Jesus were both God and Human, this would be a contradiction. In his argument he stated that this would imply therefore that Jesus was both perfect and imperfect.

The Answer

The problem comes from the assumptions made by Dr. Ally. His assumption is that all human natures imply imperfection. However, this is not true. Jesus had two natures, a human one and a divine one. Both of these natures are perfect. This is what people concluded after reflecting on the scriptures. An example of a classic Christian writing documenting this is the Creed of  Chalcedon:

"We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood (...)" (1)

So saying that Christ was a imperfect in his human nature is misrepresentation of the Christian believe, and therefore a fallacy.

Now one could challenge saying that a human cannot be perfect, because the only one who can be perfect is God. So let's look at this second argument. The Oxford dictionary (2) defines the adjective "perfect" in the following manner:

Having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be:she strove to be the perfect wife life certainly isn’t perfect at the moment

So saying that one man is perfect is within the limitations of humanity. Other wise we would not be talking about a human nature but about another nature.
