 "question": "What does “inspired” mean in regard to the Bible?",
 "answer": "“Inspired” translates theopneustos — “God-breathed.” It means the Holy Spirit so superintended the human authors of Scripture that they recorded exactly and accurately what God intended, down to the very words of the original manuscripts. That is how 66 books by 40-plus authors over 1,500 years remain perfectly consistent: God used each man’s vocabulary and perspective, yet guided him so no error intruded.",
