God's word, God's logos, the written logos is perfect.
God is perfect, thus everything God does is perfect.
Therefore His written logos is perfect.
Not only is the entire written logos of God perfect but so is every word in the written logos of God perfect.
And the order of every word in the written word is perfect.
Since God's word is perfect, there are no contradictions in God's word. If there appears to be it is man's ignorance and his private interpretation that is to blame. II Peter 1:20
For is was given to men because holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to communicate it to us.
However, there is a related question. Are all copies of the original word of God perfect?
By the original word of God, I am referring to that which the holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, that which is "given by inspiration of God" II Peter 1:21, and II Timothy 3:16
II Peter 1:21
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
II Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Are any copies or translations or versions perfect?
I believe we can attain knowing the intent of God's word to us, in spite of having imperfect copies and translations and versions etc.
II Timothy 2:15
