Honestly, I think you're engaging in sophistry here.
I guess I've always thought of the refining process as being under the governance of God's Providential hand. I believe, in history, He rescued His Church from years of darkness under a false Gospel. A Jesuit might fold his arms at me and state: "Do let me know when you discover a doctrine of Justification that you can settle on. We had one that was just fine for 1000 years."
If God can refine His Church and rescue her from a false understanding of Justification then He can certainly perfect His Word by exposing obvious errors to us that occured during the process of "settling" the text in the 17th Century.
Thus, do let me know when I can stop counting on God to be working all things together for the good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
