In a different thread, the subject of Adam and Moses came up.

I understand how your reasoning the word perfect. However, that's not how Moses reasoned by power of the Holy Spirit when he was directed to use good, not perfect
My objective when going to scripture is not to put my view on scripture, but rather for scripture to form my view. It's not always easy.
My point is this, and Strong's bears this out. Why did Moses call Noah perfect, but Adam only good?
In other words, why would I alter the original narrative from it's intended purpose?
IOW, Moses said Noah was perfect in his generation...
Genesis 6:9
9These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man,
blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.
Immediately we see that in the NASB the word RIGHTEOUS is used and not the word PERFECT.
The question that came up is:
Why would Moses say Adam was GOOD
and Noah was PERFECT ? (in those versions where the word PERFECT is used)
I've never thought of this before and would appreciate the input of others.
