1 | When did God's inspiration stop? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 15381 | ||
Your question: "When did God's inspiration stop?" You write: "I think that really the question becomes when did God stop inspiring His Word . . . On the other hand, I believe that God loves the regular folk so much, that He has continued to inspire His message to them throughout the centuries. " This is not a criticism or put-down of you at all. Nor is it meant to be a blanket rejection or refutation of your major points. It's just that your use of the words inspire(d) and inspiration is somewhat unique. You use them in a way that I am not familiar with. Additionally, I am not sure you use the word "inspire(d)" in the same sense in which it is used in the Bible. No man, no study notes, no commentary is inspired in the same sense in which the Scriptures in the original manuscripts were inspired. My point is that inspiration extends only to the Word of God and only in the original manuscripts. On the other hand, *illumination* is the ministry of the Holy Spirit which makes clear the truth of the written revelation in the Bible. In reference to the Bible, *revelation* relates to its content or material, *inspiration* to the method of recording (recording, not perpetuating or preserving) that material, and *illumination* to the meaning of the record. I have no problem with the concept that God preserved the existence of the Bible throughout the centuries. But, that is not the meaning of the word inspiration. |

I think we might be getting a little off of the original question of this thread. Would you guys mind if we start a seperate thread focusing on the inspiration of the Bible, past and present? | ||||||
