Dictionary.com

per·fect    [adj., n. pur-fikt; v. per-fekt] Show IPA

adjective
1. conforming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type: a perfect sphere; a perfect gentleman.

2. excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement: There is no perfect legal code. The proportions of this temple are almost perfect.

3. exactly fitting the need in a certain situation or for a certain purpose: a perfect actor to play Mr. Micawber; a perfect saw for cutting out keyholes.

4. entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings: a perfect apple; the perfect crime.

5. accurate, exact, or correct in every detail: a perfect copy.

From the WHOLE Merriam-Webster defination
1per·fect
adj \ˈpər-fikt\

Definition of PERFECT
1 a: being entirely without fault or defect : flawless <a perfect diamond> b: satisfying all requirements : accurate c: corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept <a perfect gentleman> d: faithfully reproducing the original; specifically: letter-perfect e: legally valid
2: expert, proficient <practice makes perfect>

3 a: pure, total b: lacking in no essential detail : complete obsolete: sane d: absolute, unequivocal <enjoys perfect happiness> e: of an extreme kind : unmitigated <a perfect brat> <an act of perfect foolishness>

4 obsolete: mature

5: of, relating to, or constituting a verb form or verbal that expresses an action or state completed at the time of speaking or at a time spoken of

6 obsolete a: certain, sure b: contented, satisfied

7 of a musical interval: belonging to the consonances unison, fourth, fifth, and octave which retain their character when inverted and when raised or lowered by a half step become augmented or diminished

8 a: sexually mature and fully differentiated <a perfect insect> b: having both stamens and pistils in the same flower <a perfect flower>

Here are two examples that underscore my assertion that you have seemed to over looked in your dishonest efforts to represent this word. I originally said that not every example of the word is static. Meaning perfection or the understanding of it can change. The two bold definition provided suggest that perfection or parameters that define the state of perfection can indeed change.

Where in the bible iis god an adjective?

Definition of ADJECTIVE

Now what does it's entire say about obsolete? Music and insects?

Let's take the verb. (as verb form)

Definition of VERB
: a word that characteristically is the grammatical center of a predicate and expresses an act, occurrence, or mode of being, that in various languages is inflected for agreement with the subject, for tense, for voice, for mood, or for aspect, and that typically has rather full descriptive meaning and characterizing quality but is sometimes nearly devoid of these especially when used as an auxiliary or linking verb
— verb·less adjective

First Known Use: 14th century
Other Grammar and Linguistics Terms

doesn't include verbal which is said, spoken that brings us to who did god speak to about this whole book known as the bible?

Origin of PERFECT
Middle English parfit, from Anglo-French, from Latin perfectus, from past participle of perficere to carry out, perfect, from per- thoroughly + facere to make, do — more at do
First Known Use: 14th century

ah and 14th century origins of the term perfect.
"Religion is comparable to Childhood neurosis" Sigmond Freud

"If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and motions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority."

SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."

SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck." George Carlin

"The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation." Elizabeth Cady Stanton - American Suffragist (1815-1902)
