Please take as much time as you have available to answer these and other questions that the video brought out concerning the creative power of the Word of God. Be clear and concise in your answers, and where possible, support with Scripture! 1. In what way do the Scriptures assert that they are the Word of God? What does the phrase mean that the Scriptures are inspired by God’s very own breath? 2. What is the meaning of the biblical teaching that the Word of God “lives and abides forever?” 3. How might God have inspired the Word of God without merely dictating the Word of God to the authors, or placing them in a trance and taking over their minds? What does the Bible mean when it says that the authors were “carried along” by the Holy Spirit?” 4. Why can a believer know that the Scriptures are absolutely trustworthy and reliable?
