Matt. 19:17 So He said to him, Why do you call Me good?[f] No one is good but One, that is, God.[g] But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.
What did Jesus mean by saying no one is good , not even himself, only God is good.
What does he understand good to be? Yet he said be perfect as God is perfect. What would a perfect man be?
What is good?

I don't think its impossible to answer. I wonder what answer you desire.dio9 wrote: THANK you all for contributing to this impossible to answer question.
Good is edifying, uplifting, heavenly, reassuring, comforting, forgiving.
While it may be subjective depending on your circumstance or position. I did not think it was good when my parents forced me to be self sufficient as a child. But, it turns out, that was a very good thing they did.
In short, good adds and helps, now or later.
Good is a giving blessing that self replicates for good.
Evil is , of course, a taker. It gives nothing, takes everything. The only thing it spawns is choas and discontent. And hopes to make you do the same.
