Sometimes I like to do a websearch just to see what pops up. I used the term "imperfect men" at google recently. Thought you might be interested in some of the results.
"Although the overseers are imperfect men, there is no need for anyone in the congregation to hold back from being submissive since it is Jehovah's arrangement and he will hold the overseers responsible for their actions." - Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry, 1983 p. 39
The full end of the times of the Gentiles, i.e., the full end of their lease of dominion, will be reached in A.D. 1914; and that date will be the farthest limit of the rule of imperfect men. C.T. Russell, Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 3 (p. 76-77, 1908)
Was Russell talking about the GB?
The reason the Bible does not clearly teach the Trinity doctrine is simple: It is not a Bible teaching. Had God been a Trinity, he would surely have made it clear so that Jesus and his disciples could have taught it to others. And that vital information would have been included in God's inspired Word. It would not have been left to imperfect men to struggle with centuries later. (Watchtower 11/1/91 p.23)
"The Eternal has been merciful by showing that church organizations are run by imperfect men that often make self-seeking decisions." Worldwide Church of God
"The guru must be a perfect man. If he is not, there will be scandals in due course of time. If the governing body either allows imperfect men to be gurus or establishes a flawed system of initiations, this will also eventually lead to scandals." KRISHNA
"The purpose of human law is to lead men to virtue, not suddenly, but gradually. Wherefore it does not lay upon the multitude of imperfect men the burdens of those who are already virtuous, viz., that they should abstain from all evil. Otherwise these imperfect ones, being unable to bear such precepts, would break out into yet greater evils..." Thomas Aquinas
"The effective practice of the Christian faith in this world will always cause tension among imperfect men,even redeemed imperfect men." Presbyterian Church in America
"All faiths are a gift of God, but partake of human imperfection as they pass through the medium of humanity. God-given religion is beyond all speech. Imperfect men put it into such language as they can command, and their words are interpreted by other men equally imperfect." M.K. Gandhi
"I only said this to you regarding the New Testament so that you would understand that God deals with us as imperfect men in an imperfect world awaiting deliverance from the curse of sin (Romans chapter eight); and that God uses those who are imperfect to convey his perfect will imperfectly for those of us who are imperfect. As such, imperfection is a part of the written revelation to us by imperfect men in an imperfect world with imperfect preservation and the interposition of those writings of deceptive character, regardless of the motivations for doing so." Letter from a baptist
IMPACT stands for Imperfect Men Prayerfully Accountable in Christ Together and that really describes what our men’s ministry is all about.
But since no Perfect Church exists
Made of Imperfect men,
Then let’s cease looking for that Church
And love the Church we’re in. (Brethern in Christ Church)
"The Book of Mormon does contain incorrect grammar. Real prophets are men, good but still imperfect men, chosen by God to deliver his messages to the rest of us." (LDS)
Yes, the Torah is a document filled with the lives of imperfect men, trusting in the providence and grace of a perfect God. (Jewish)
"What belief can we place on imperfect men, especially since we have no means of ascertaining the full nature of their imperfectness." Brahmanism
"The fathers of the faith were all imperfect men." United Methodist
The purpose of this paper is to present the stories, as much as can be known, of these men, the founders of the Minnesota Synod, and in doing so to show how our Lord does His work through such weak and imperfect servants.
"I never told you I was perfect; but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught." Joesph Smith
When you look at the fellowship of the Spirit as God looks at it, it is downright silly for puny and ignorant men to talk about "withdrawing fellowship" from other brethren, the sons and daughters of the Lord almighty, who loves them and cherishes them as His own. Of course men can put you out of their synagogues and Jesus said they would (John 16:2). But anything fleshly and imperfect men can put you out of, you are as well off out of it as you would be in it. Being in it will not save your soul and being out of it will not damn you. All it will do is to free you from tyranny!
These are just the religious contexts and don't include the Greek idea that "women are imperfect men" nor the poets idea that "trees are imperfect men".
