33.261 · Communication · Preach, Proclaim
inspired by God, divinely inspired pertaining to a communication which has been inspired by God In a number of languages it is difficult to find an appropriate term to render ‘inspired.’ In some instances ‘Scripture inspired by God’ is rendered as ‘Scripture, the writer of which was influenced by God’ or ‘... guided by God.’ It is important, however, to avoid an expression which will mean only ‘dictated by God.’
