Do You Believe God's Word is infallible?

I wouldn't say God is restricted. However, we're restricted by what He's revealed in His word. The reason for this is fairly simple. If everyone goes around saying "I have a revelation from God," then you have chaos and disorder. Who has the true revelations? Who do you believe? Of course there's a fair amount of chaos now because everyone has their own "revelations" about what God's word means, but at least there's a standard that sincere truth seekers can turn to and find truth.
That's why He gave Holy Spirit to guide in ALL truth, a Spirit filled and led Christian would know this, hence why you post this way.

Prophecy or Prophesy, one is a noun while the other is a verb. Without knowing the intention of the first question it cannot be answered.

Your grammar is correct.

The intention of the initial post is to bait people so the author can “prove” (only to himself) that everyone else is wrong. He’s done it before.
 
People, the first born flesh is the fallible ones, everyone of first born flesh is Fallible read Romans 8:3, then re-read 1-3 and see by Son, what got done, is done and we are to see we can't do anything special better than anyone else ever, at least me this I hear in Daddy's Spirit and Truth to me, to love all as a response in thanksgiving and praise, even those that disagree, since, God has done the reconciliation through Son to all for all asDone, once for all (Hebrews 10:10) (Romans 2:1-4) To move forward, after asking Father for the new life offered in the risen Son Jesus Christ for us all. I see "I" can't do it, never could after trying seriously hard to do it right, and see as Paul saw/ sees as in Phil 3, who gave up Law to win the risen Son, given to him by Father, Daddy, PaPa
Thank you Father

God's word is all powerful and perfect but his word is not restricted to just the written form he is speaking to us constantly every second of every day and whatever he says is his word and is law

There is of course the issue of translation and the manuscripts that the original text says compared to our basically watered down verson of it. Some would consider this reason enough to say that his word is not perfect and is in fact mistranslated but God is not liimited by translation his spirit speaks truth to us

The issue you cite is usually indicated by noting that extant Scripture is not the original manuscripts,
but I agree that we must assume God is able to convey sufficient truth for accomplishing His will
via imperfect translations per 2Tim. 3:15-17.

What would be the proper preserved translation?

What a good question!
Believers in every language should ask the same. In our English today, I believe the Traditional Text, commonly called the King James Bible is preserved by God for us.
Jesus told the Jews in John 10:34
..."The Scripture cannot be broken."
He was using copies of the originals that had long disintegrated with use, wear and oxidation. His copies were pure.

"The Words of the Lord are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times."
Psalm 12:6

Here's a sermon on the subject that I just listened to for you.
I found it very encouraging and hope that you do too.
