The god that can’t get his word properly written is a weak, inadequate god.

God does not force man to follow Him. God gave us free will, and free will includes flawed human interpretations and translations of His Word.
I have seen many oddball interpretations of scripture ... interpretations justifying anything from deviant sexual behavior to condemning Christians for judging errant behavior.
These are CLEARLY human misinterpretations of God’s Word. Although some misinterpretations are self-serving and sinful — some are surely honest misinterpretations. People who, for whatever reason, are reading something wrong. Some of yours are honest misinterpretations — some of mine are honest misinterpretations. Free will.
If God can allow you or I (or any other honest reader) to misinterpret His Word ... why is it so far fetched that He might let someone misinterpret His revelation or mistranslate it?

And — might I add — thank God that He sacrificed His Son to absolve me of my sins, known and unknown, including any stemming from the misinterpretation of His Word.

This isn't about God's flaws (lack thereof) it is about man's flaws. Man has a nasty habit in history of misreading, misunderstanding, or misinterpreting God's word. Every single time, man held his nose in the air and proclaimed his knowledge of the word perfect, and more often than not, he fell. God's word, however, didn't change.
