1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
When Adam, Noah, and Abarahm heard the Word of God, they were on earth. The Spoken Word of God came to people on earth and was heard on earth.
When Moses received, broke, and rewrote the Word of God, Moses was one earth, he wrote it on earth, with the material from the earth. All the prophets and apostles spoke and wrote the Word of God on earth. The Copies and translations of the Written Word of God was done on earth.
The Incarnate Word of God came on earth and will come again on earth.
I can see that the Word of God has more relevance and importance on earth. The incorruptible and eternal Word of God is more needed where the flowers fall away, not where the roses never fade. There's no use of preserving a perfect Word in heaven and losing it on earth. I see no point in the Bible's emphasis on the eternality of the Word of God when it is lost in this planet.
The fact that it's called the "Word of God" is to serve its purpose on earth -- the God of heaven to reveal Himself to all flesh. That the word of the Lord endureth forever makes sense on earth where corruption exists.
