Paul recognized that his earthly life was likely coming to an\nend soon. The Book of 2 Timothy is essentially Paul\u2019s \u201clast words.\u201d Paul looked\npast his own circumstances to express concern for the churches and specifically\nfor Timothy. Paul wanted to use his last words to encourage Timothy, and all\nother believers, to persevere in faith (2 Timothy 3:14), trust in the Word (2\nTimothy 3:16, 17) and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 4:2).&nbsp; Paul encourages Timothy to remain passionate\nfor Christ and to remain firm in sound doctrine (2 Timothy 1:1-2, 13-14). Paul\nreminds Timothy to avoid ungodly beliefs and practices and to flee from\nanything unrighteous (2 Timothy 2:14-26). In the end times there will be both\nintense persecution and apostasy from the Christian faith (2 Timothy 3:1-17).\nPaul closes with an intense plea for believers to stand firm in the faith and\nto finish the race strong (2 Timothy 4:1-8).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>Grammatical Usage: V 16:\n\u201cinspiration\u201d or \u201cTheopneustos\u201d in the Greek means, \u201cGod breathed\u201d;\n\u201cprofitable\u201d is \u201cOphelimos\u201d meaning, \u201cto increase in the sense of having an\nadvantage\u201d; \u201cdoctrine\u201d is \u201cDidaskalia\u201d meaning, \u201cteaching or instruction\u201d;\n\u201creproof\u201d or \u201cElegchos\u201d meaning \u201ca proof or proving (not a correction)\u201d;\n\u201ccorrection\u201d is \u201cEpanorthosis\u201d meaning, \u201csetting upright\u2026specifically a\nreference to improvement of life and character\u201d; \u201cinstruction\u201d is \u2018Paideia\u201d\nmeaning, \u201ctraining not in the sense of imparting knowledge but chastening (see\nthe lesson on Chastisement \u2013 Hebrews 12:6) or disciplining\u201d; \u201crighteousness\u201d or\n\u201cDikaiosune\u201d meaning, \u201cintegrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness,\ncorrectness of thinking feeling, and acting according to God\u201d; V. 17: \u201cperfect\u201d\nor \u201cArtios\u201d meaning, \u201cfitted, complete (not morally perfect)\u201d; \u201cfurnished\u201d or\n\u201cExartizo\u201d meaning, \u201cto complete for a special purpose\u201d; \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cAgathos\u201d\nmeaning, \u201chonorable as in pleasing to God\u201d; \u201cworks\u201d or \u201cErgon\u201d meaning, \u201cevery\nactivity undertaken for Christ\u2019s sake.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>Literal Application: All Scripture is breathed of God,\ngiving the advantage to our understanding because of His supernatural\nrevelation, proving Him true in all His assertions therefore improving\nourselves personally and our lives corporately, training us through merciful\nchastisement in integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness and correct\nthinking that the disciple is prepared to complete the calling of God with\nhonor in every activity undertaken for the sake of Jesus Christ.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>Contextual Interpretation: Inspiration is one of the most important doctrines in Christianity for\nthe sole reason that we hold the Bible to be inspired by God, and as such is\nour infallible rule for faith and practice. If that rule of faith and practice\nis not \u201cGod-breathed\u201d but is simply the work of the human imagination, then\nthere is no compelling reason to follow its doctrines and righteous guidelines.<br>\n<br>\nThe reason we hold the Bible to be our rule for faith and practice can be\nsummed up in one biblical passage: 2 Timothy 3:16-17.&nbsp; We notice two things regarding Scripture from\nthis verse: 1) It is &#8220;inspired by God&#8221; and 2) It is\n&#8220;profitable&#8221; for Christian living. We can come up with definitions\nfor the various things Scripture is profitable for (reproof, correction, etc.).\nWhat really needs to be defined is what is meant by &#8220;inspired by\nGod?&#8221;<br>\n<br>\nThere are four ways to look at inspiration:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br>\n1. <strong>The neo-orthodox view of inspiration.<\/strong>&nbsp; The neo-orthodox view of inspiration is based\non their view of the transcendence of God. Neo-orthodoxy taught that God is so\ncompletely different from us (i.e., utterly transcendent) that the only way we\ncould ever know Him is through His revelation to us. This view of the\ntranscendence of God is so restrictive that it denies any concept of natural\ntheology (i.e., that God can be known through His creation). Furthermore, it\ndenies that the Bible is the Word of God. Rather, the Bible is a witness, or\nmediator, to the Word of God, which is God Himself. The words in the Bible\naren&#8217;t God&#8217;s words, but God can use them to speak to individuals. Other than\nthat, the words in the Bible are fallible words written by fallible men.&nbsp; The neo-orthodox view of inspiration is no\nview of inspiration at all. If the Bible is the fallible product of fallible\nmen, then it really has no value at all, at least not any more than any other\nbook written by men. God could very well &#8220;speak&#8221; to us through works\nof fiction as He could through the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br>\n2. <strong>The dictation method of inspiration.<\/strong>&nbsp; The dictation method of inspiration sees God\nas the author of Scripture and the individual human agents as secretaries\ntaking dictation. God spoke and man wrote it down. This view has some merit as\nwe know there are portions of Scripture in which God essentially says,\n&#8220;Write this down&#8221; (e.g., Jeremiah 30:2), but not all Scripture was\ncreated that way. The Pentateuch is essentially a pre-history and chronicle of\nthe Jewish people prior to settling in the Promised Land. While Moses is\nbelieved to be the primary author, much of it is the editorial work of Moses\nand later redactors who finalized the finished product. Luke states in the\npreamble to his Gospel that he performed detailed research into the events of\nthe life of Jesus before writing his work (Luke 1:1-4). Many of the prophetic\nbooks read like journals of the prophets&#8217; lives. The bottom line is that the\ndictation method only explains certain portions of Scripture, but not all of it\nor even most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">3. <strong>The view of limited inspiration.<\/strong>&nbsp; Limited inspiration is sort of the opposite\nview of dictation. Whereas dictation sees Scripture as primarily the work of\nGod with the human agent reduced to being a secretary, limited inspiration sees\nScripture as primarily the work of man with &#8220;limited&#8221; inspiration\nfrom God. God guides the human authors, but allows them the freedom to express\nthemselves in their works. This view asserts that while there may be factual\nand historical errors in the Bible, the Holy Spirit guided the authors so that\nno doctrinal errors resulted from their works. The problem with this view is\nhow one can trust the Bible in doctrinal concerns when it is prone to error in\nits historical accounts? The reliability of the Bible is called into doubt in\nthis view, and if we can&#8217;t trust a literary work to get mundane details right,\nhow can we trust it for weightier issues? This view also seems to ignore the\nfact that while the Bible is a story of redemption from Genesis to Revelation,\nit is a story told against the backdrop of human history, the doctrine being\ninterwoven within the history. One can&#8217;t just arbitrarily say that this account\nis factually inaccurate yet state it contains a kernel of doctrinal truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br>\n4. <strong>The view of plenary verbal\ninspiration.<\/strong>&nbsp; The final view, and the\nview of orthodox Christianity, is the view of plenary, verbal inspiration. The\nword <em>plenary<\/em> means &#8220;complete or full,&#8221; and <em>verbal<\/em> means\n&#8220;the very words of Scripture.&#8221; So plenary, verbal inspiration means\nthat every single word in the Bible is the very word of God. The passage quoted\nabove (2 Timothy 3:16-17) uses a unique Greek word, <em>theopneustos<\/em>, which\nliterally means &#8220;God-breathed.&#8221; Scripture is literally &#8220;breathed\nout&#8221; of the mouth of God. Furthermore, in another biblical passage, we see\nthat \u201cno prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God\nas they were carried along by the Holy Spirit\u201d (2 Peter 1:21).<br>\n<br>\nThis passage gives us a clue as to how God inspired the human authors. We see\nthat men spoke (or wrote) &#8220;as they were carried along by the Holy\nSpirit.&#8221; The verb &#8220;carried along&#8221; is used to speak of a sail\nbeing filled by a wind and carrying a boat along the water, which is fitting\nsince the Greek word for &#8220;spirit&#8221; is also used for &#8220;wind.&#8221;\nWhen the human authors were putting pen to paper, the Holy Spirit &#8220;carried\nthem along&#8221; so that what they wrote were the &#8220;breathed-out\u201d words of\nGod. This means that while the actual writings retain the personality of the\nindividual authors (and that is obvious if you read the works of Paul compared\nto James or John or Peter), they contain the actual words of God.<br>\n<br>\nIt should be noted that there are some things that inspiration is not:<br>\n<br>\n1. Inspiration is not robotic dictation (not to be confused with the dictation\nmethod mentioned above). The personality of the human authors is present in\neach of the writings;<br>\n<br>\n2. The fact that individual personalities are present in the writings does not\nmean that God&#8217;s &#8220;control&#8221; over them was not perfect. The Holy Spirit\nsuperintended the process so that the words written were the exact words God\nwanted, despite the fallibility of the human authors;<br>\n<br>\n3. Inspiration is limited to the original writings (autographs) not the process\nof transmission. We know there are minute transmission errors in the copies of\nmanuscripts, but these errors are more grammatical than substantive;<br>\n<br>\n4. The inspiration of Scripture is to the verbal level, meaning that it&#8217;s not\njust the ideas or thoughts that are inspired, but the very words. Moreover, we\ndon&#8217;t speak of inspiration of Scripture as we would the inspiration of a great\nwork of literature or a work of music;<br>\n<br>\n5. Finally, inspiration is limited to the specific works of the authors that\nare included in the biblical canon. Paul wasn&#8217;t inspired, but Romans was.\nFurthermore, not all letters of Paul were inspired, but only the ones the Holy\nSpirit chose to preserve (e.g., see the Corinthian letters in which reference\nis made to two additional letters to this church of which we have no existing\ncopies).<br>\n<br>\nBiblical inspiration, in a nutshell, is the orthodox view of the church which\nsays that the Bible is the plenary, verbally inspired word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Scriptural Comparison:&nbsp; Below are some evidences that the Bible is inspired (God-breathed) by God, as declared in 2\nTimothy 3:16:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br>\n1) Fulfilled prophecy. God spoke to men telling them of things He would bring\nabout in the future. Some of them have already occurred. Others have not. For\nexample, there were more than 300 prophecies concerning Jesus Christ&#8217;s first\ncoming 2,000 years ago. There is no doubt that these are prophecies from God\nbecause of manuscripts and scrolls dated before the birth of Christ. These were\nnot written after the fact. They were written beforehand. Scientific dating\nproves this.<br>\n<br>\n2) The unity of Scripture. The Bible was written by approximately 40 human\nauthors over a period of approximately 1,600 years. These men were quite\ndiverse. Moses, a political leader; Joshua, a military leader; David, a\nshepherd; Solomon, a king; Amos, a herdsman and fruit picker; Daniel, a prime minister;\nMatthew, a tax collector; Luke, a medical doctor; Paul, a rabbi; and Peter, a\nfisherman; among others. The Bible was also written under a variety of\ncircumstances. It was written on 3 different continents, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Yet, the great themes of Scripture are maintained\nin all the writings. The Bible does not contradict itself. There is no way,\napart from God the Holy Spirit supervising the writing of the Bible, that this\ncould have been accomplished.<br>\n<br>\nContrast this with the Islamic Koran. It was compiled by one individual, Zaid\nbin Thabit, under the guidance of Mohammed&#8217;s father-in-law, Abu-Bekr. Then in\nA.D. 650, a group of Arab scholars produced a unified version and destroyed all\nvariant copies to preserve the unity of the Koran. The Bible was unified from\nthe time of its writing. The Koran had to be unified through the editing of\nmen.<br>\n<br>\n3) The Bible presents its heroes truthfully with all of their faults and\nweaknesses. It does not glorify men as other religions do about their heroes. When\nyou read the Bible, you realize that the people it describes have problems and\ndo wrong just as we do. What made them great was that they trusted in God. One\nexample is David. David is described as \u201ca man after God&#8217;s own heart\u201d (1 Samuel\n13:14). Yet, David committed adultery (2 Samuel 11:1-5) and murder (2 Samuel\n11:14-26). This could have been left out of Scripture to hide these details of\nDavid&#8217;s life. But God included these things.<br>\n<br>\n4) Archaeological findings support the history recorded in Scripture. Though\nmany unbelieving people throughout history have tried to find archaeological\nevidence to disprove what is recorded in the Bible, they have failed. It is\neasy to say that Scripture is untrue. Proving it to be untrue is a different\nstory. It has not been done. In fact, in the past the Bible contradicted the\ncurrent \u201cscientific\u201d theories, only to be proven later to be in fact true. A\ngood example is Isaiah 40:22, which declared that God \u201csits on the circle of\nthe earth\u201d long before scientists claimed the earth was flat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The\nBible\u2019s claims of being from God should not be understood as arguing in a\ncircle or by circular reasoning. The testimony of reliable witnesses &#8211;\nparticularly of Jesus, but also of others such as Moses, Joshua, David, Daniel,\nand Nehemiah in the Old Testament, and John and Paul in the New Testament &#8211;\naffirm the authority and verbal inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. Consider\nthe following passages: Exodus 14:1; 20:1; Leviticus 4:1; Numbers 4:1;\nDeuteronomy 4:2; 32:48; Isaiah 1:10, 24; Jeremiah 1:11; Jeremiah 11:1\u20133;\nEzekiel 1:3; 1 Corinthians 14:37; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:16\u201321; 1 John\n4:6.<br>\n<br>\nAlso of interest are the writings of Josephus, an historian who recorded much\nof the history of Israel\nduring the first century. In this he records some events which coincide with\nScripture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Considering the evidence\ngiven, we have no choice but to accept the Bible as being from God (2 Timothy\n3:16). \n\nConclusion: Of\ncourse, when we speak of \u201cinspiration,\u201d we are referring only to the process by\nwhich the original documents were composed. After that, the doctrine of the\npreservation of the Bible takes over. If God went to such great lengths to give\nus His Word, surely He would also take steps to preserve that Word unchanged.&nbsp; Through careful study of Scripture and the\nSpirit&#8217;s guidance, we can understand, interpret and apply Scripture. Due to faithful,\ndedicated translators, translations today are superb and trustworthy. The fact\nthat we cannot ascribe inerrancy to a translation prompts close study, preventing\nblind devotion towards any particular version.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 Timothy 3:16, 17: \u201cAll scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;
