Today, we will continue on the series of the Bible. This will take some time as there are many aspects to this topic, so stay with us and I believe that this series will be beneficial to all.
'Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.' (1 Corinthians 2:13)
Here, Paul made the point that God's revelation came to us in words. This counters the contention of some that inspiration only relates to the thoughts that God wanted us to know, but not to the words in which those thoughts were expressed. Holding such a view relieves one of holding to the inerrancy of the text, for one could supposedly have truthful thoughts (God's) conveyed in erroneous words (man's). But Paul insisted that God's message came in the words of the text.
To sum up, 1 Corinthians 2:13 teaches us that the actual words of the Bible was inspired.
