 The Biblical View of Inspiration

"God was concerned that the prophets and apostles present His revealed knowledge accurately. An inaccurate presentation of God?’s revealed knowledge would defeat the whole purpose of God?’s revealing that knowledge.
There was a problem, however. Left to themselves, the prophets and apostles, like all other human beings, were fallible. If all they had to work with, when it came time for them to present God?’s revealed knowledge to other people, were their natural abilities, then they were bound to be inaccurate in their presentations on occasion.
How could God prevent the prophets and apostles from inaccurately presenting the knowledge that He revealed to them? He did it by the Holy Spirit working with them, giving them supernatural enablement when it was time for them to make their presentations. This guaranteed that what they spoke or wrote was accurate and inspired."

Where is the biblical evidence for any of this?  Where is any evidence? You're telling us a story about what God did and thought which is found nowhere in the Bible.

It looks like a self-serving invention to me.

iama: The Inquisition has been blamed, on these forums, on the Christians, but which "Christians" were really responsible.  Notice The Bible at the center of The Inquistition:

DID THE CHURCH OF ROME MURDER OVER 50 MILLION CHRISTIANS FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND TRANSLATING THE BIBLE INTO ENGLISH?

EXPOSING THE JESUIT ORDER AND THEIR COUNTER REFORMATION BY BRANNON HOWSE AND CHRIS PINTO (VIDEO CLIP)

.

Oh, come on, iama, people are willing to die for all kinds of exotic reasons. Being willing to die for an idea or a belief does not make the idea or belief necessarily true. Countless thousands of Japanese died during the second world war for and in the belief that their emperor was god on earth.

And Christians have been killing each other over their respectively inconsistent beliefs almost from the inception of the Christian religion.

Christianity is a killing religion and the world would be better off without it and the violent and contradictory book that inspires it.
