It's just that Mormons don't equate "imperfect" with "unreliable." My father certainly wasn't perfect but he was absolutely reliable. In the same way, Mormons view scripture as having imperfections in language; yet it is absolutely reliable. He'd probably agree with me that the Bible isn't inerrant, but it is able to make us wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus - - profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.
