“God breathe”. This concept includes the giving/ receiving of the message. It includes the communication(to others)/ preservation of the message as well as the translation of the message.

T/F The thoughts were inspired, and each prophet used his own style, they reflect their level of education ( Peter says in 2 Pe.3: 15,16 that Paul wrote some things that are hard to understand), and they reflect their personality.
They drew on their experience and background/milieu…
