The term “God-breathed” is unclear in its original context and doesn’t necessarily imply literal divine dictation.
Inspiration involves both divine influence and human participation.
The writers and early preachers likely relied on memory and personal understanding, which means small mistakes or variations could have occurred. This challenges the idea of a perfectly error-free process, especially since even those who defend inerrancy often limit it to the original manuscripts—which no longer exist.
