2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

According to the bible there is only one kind of scripture - inspired by God. If it's not inspired by God then it's not scripture.

NOTE: It did not say all scripture WAS given by inspiriation of God.

Bible is not God.

Error can be very easily made during manuscript copying or by a wrong translation, why not?

To hold to any translation as error-free, one would have to hold to the translators being inspired.

It's always a problem with man. God did not breathe the scriptures in English. God moved holy men of God to write His word.

Moses recorded Gods word but the only part that God actually wrote was on the tables of stone on the mountain. That of course was the second set because the set Moses wrote he smashed.

Men wrote what God breathed in Hebrews, Greek and Aramaic not English, German, Latin or Spanish.

God has preserved His word through the translation process so 2 Tim 3:16-17 remains true and we can receive it in our language.

For the cause of Christ

I certainly agree that God did not breathe the scriptures in the English text and so with the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Latin, French and all the languages of this world. He inspires them. Also agree that God moved the holy men of God to write His word. Likewise, God did not inspire the writer of the Bible. What God inspire is His written words.

When God preserved His words through translation, he preserved His words thus inspiration is in it.There's nothing about the "double inspiration" as others assumed it to be.

God bless

God inspired the original authors of His word to write it down. Those who copied it down through the centuries were not inspired as they copied it. That's why I think texts such as Mark 16:9-20 & John 7:53-8:11 are blended in scribal notes that the scribes had written in the margins as notes and eventually got blended into the text.

I love these facts about the KJV keep up the good work brother. Jesus stated that the truth shall set us free. When people change the Word of God they are corrupting the truth and presenting us with lies. The Bible says that when the devil speaks a lie he speaks of himself, he is the father of lies. It is sad and breaks my heart that there are so many corrupt so called versions that don't agree with themselves nor the true Word of God. I used to study out of other versions until I saw that the difference was so obvious by a personal side by side study of them and the KJV. Later I learned about the Greek texts and where they originate from. My prayer for all is that they will study to show themselves approved a workman who needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. satan is attacking the Word just like he did in the garden and many are being deceived. I owe my all to God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God wants us all to know the truth, He can not lie and will not lie to us. Let God be true and every man a liar. When mankind changes the Word of God in any way it becomes a lie, not of God.

Did you know that Satan is THE ACCUSER of the brethren? See Rev 12:10. It's Satan's role to bring charges against your brothers. Not yours.

The original papyri they wrote the scriptures upon whilst they were until the inspiration of the Spirit, is the inspired word of God. Those who took those papyri and copied it, they were not inspired whilst they copied it, and those copies are not inspired, but copies of the inspired word of God. Even your beloved KJV can not escape this.

To hold that the bible is error-free, one must also hold to EVERY person who copied the copies of the copies, of the copies, of the copies, &c, must have been inspired as they copied it to keep it error-free.

SG:The original papyri they wrote the scriptures upon whilst they were until the inspiration of the Spirit, is the inspired word of God.

Fredoheaven: Good opinion here, but I am asking to fully demonstrate using God’s word what is/are you/r basis the original writers of the Bible gets inspiration? Your post here seems to favour that inspiration has something to do with the texts, the writings and not the writers that you’ve first mention.

SG:Those who took those papyri and copied it, they were not inspired...

Fredoheaven:I see…unaware of the scriptures used by Jesus, the Bereans, Timothy and others. Are they not copies? If each possess having scrolls, so which scrolls is the original?

SG: ...EVERY person who copied...

Fredoheaven:​Okay, but this does not explain inspiration of the text. This is about transmission of the text.

I am not for sure what exactly you're asking, so if its not the answer you're looking for, please forgive me. The writers were inspired as they wrote the scriptures. Those scriptures were free from error, as they were penned as men were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Now, those original papyri were error-free, but to say that the bibles we have now are also error-free, means that all those who made copies of the copies, of the copies, of the copies, of the copies, and so on, had men also inspired via the Holy Spirit as they copied those copies.

Some churches do hold to the notion the KJV translators were also inspired as they translated the KJV.

The writers were inspired. No, their writings are. Moved by the Holy Spirit is not synonymous to inspiration. Copies of scriptures in the hands of Jesus, the Berean, Timothy etc. are given by inspiration.

I do not believe that the translators of the KJV were also inspired, what they have translated is given by inspiration. It's alive and well.

God bless
