In What Way Is God Complete?
Jesus said:
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matt. 5:48
The modern versions may say "complete" instead of perfect.
Strongs defines the Greek thus:
"telios"
1) brought to its end, finished
2) wanting nothing necessary to completeness
3) perfect
4) that which is perfect
a) consummate human integrity and virtue
b) of men
1) full grown, adult, of full age, mature
Think of this. Whatever way God our Father is "telios" we are commanded by Jesus to be the same.
Considering the context in which Jesus speaks in Matt 5:48 (3 chapters of instructions for disciples) which of those words seems to fit.
