Question
Kindly tell me if the following implies that God is imperfect.
Statement: If God were indeed perfect, He could achieve all of His ends without human suffering.
Answer
G-d is perfect.
By definition.
Human suffering is mainly caused by man himself.
In the odd cases it is G-d's full responsibility; Hashem with his infinite wisdom does all for the sake of man and his benefit, even if we can't always understand how and why.

Can HaShem use anyone to be His servants?
