The point of a perfect Bible is that you'd be able to confirm your logic:

(C2) The entity that authored the Bible isn't God
which very nicely backs up my thoughts that the entity identified as "God" in the Bible is actually the devil, what, with all the mass killing and raping it commands...
God is perfect
God has a Will
(The rest of what you wrote is wrong.)
That will had God create Man perfectly.
Man fell from perfection.
Therefore man can no longer follow God's will no matter what, because man is a literal slave to sin.
This being the case man will alway need redemption, because whether he is good or bad he still falls short of Gods will.(whether or be perfectly recorded or not)
So God recordes His will in the Bible along with a plan of salvation, rather than literally writting his message into stone as He did last time.
Then He tells man this time it is not about the rules, because there is no hope that you can follow all the rules anymore. It's about redemption, so accept what I have given you and literally do all that you can with the understanding you have been given over to.
And since it's not, for all we know, you've incorrectly described God's Divine plan.
Does it sound like the work of a perfect being still?
