The belief that The Bible was inspired by God but not dictated word-for-word by Him is often referred to as "verbal inspiration" or "dynamic inspiration." This view suggests that while the authors of the biblical texts were influenced by divine inspiration, they still wrote in their own words and contexts. This perspective allows for the inclusion of human elements, such as cultural and historical contexts, in the interpretation of scripture.

What would be different if the Bible were not inspired?

If the Bible is inspired - then that's how it is. We believe it is inspired - none of the authors have said that they were inspired - that came later, and from other people. If the Bible is not inspired, we wouldn't know. So, nothing would be different.... with the actual book itself What "might" be different is how people regard the book.

What do some people mean when they say that the Bible is the word of God?

AnswerSome believe that the Bible, or at least parts of it, were personally dictated by God, and so is the word of God. For example, those who believe that Moses wrote the Book of Genesis are aware that Moses could not possibly have known about many of the events described in the book. Some therefore say that God told Moses exactly what to write.In other cases, some believe that the Bible was at least inspired by God, meaning that the Bible was written by people in their own words, but that what they wrote could not have contained any error.
