I feel like there are a number of issues with taking every word of the Bible to be "verbal plenary inspiration". A.

Theories of inspiration are all over the map, and McDonald undoubtedly defines “inspiration” differently than Kruger. Interestingly, theopneustos, commonly translated “God-breathed,” does not suggest the kind of “verbal plenary inspiration” often inferred from 2 Tim. 3:16. Pneustos is a passive participle of the verb, pneo, “to blow” (the verb used with wind in John 3:8). Moreover, Luke’s Gospel claims to be a product of human investigation, not divine inspiration. Other common “proof texts” of verbal inspiration (e.g., Heb. 1:1; 2 Pet. 1:20-21) focus more narrowly on prophecy – not Scripture in general. Hence, the way(s) in which "all Scripture is inspired by God" appears to be somewhat enigmatic.Lojahwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969343016281614563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-20005329884187953782019-06-30T08:27:47.697+01:002019-06-30T08:27:47.697+01:00ExcellentExcellentPadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674642063821499370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-14185212841615556252018-02-23T17:24:51.104+00:002018-02-23T17:24:51.104+00:00Thanks for this!
