What is Theology?1

Abstract

III. The Inspiration of the Bible A. II Timothy 3:16-17 inspiration is literally “God-Breathed” 1. That is, all Scripture is breathed, or spoken, by God 2. The other times God breathed: a) When He gave life to Adam Genesis 2:7 b) When Christ imparted the Holy Ghost John 20:22 B. L. Gaussen defined inspiration as “that inexplicable power which the divine Spirit put forth of old on the authors of Holy Scripture, in order to their guidance even in the employment of the words they used, and to preserve them alike from all error and from all omission.” C. Plenary Inspiration 1. Means the Bible is fully, 100% inspired. D. Verbal Inspiration 1. Means that every single word is inspired 2. Deuteronomy 8:3, Psalm 12:6, Proverbs 30:5, Matthew 4:4 E. Inspiration in action 1. II Peter 1:21
