Let's make sure we agree on what the term "inspired" means. In my mind it does not mean that there's a perfect copy of the OT up in Heaven and our OT is a "copy" handed down by God HImself directly to his prophets.

Is that agreed?

“Let’s make sure we agree on what the term “inspired” means.”

Inspired means, literally, God-breathed.

I believe the Old and New Testaments, in their original language, or the Septuagint accepted and quoted by Jesus, to be literally God’s word.

I admit that translation can be filled with error.

I further believe that, particularly for the English language, the Scriptures have been gone over so thoroughly for so many decades that there is not a significant error in the basic translation.
