Divine Dictation<\/h2>\nGod dictated the words of Scripture to the authors, who mechanically recorded them in a passive manner, much as a secretary might only write the words they were told to write. Interestingly,\u00a0Muslims hold this view in regard to the Koran.<\/p>\n
Personal Revelation<\/h2>\n
The Bible itself is not the Word of God because God does not speak in mere propositions. God does not reveal mere facts about Himself. Instead, He reveals Himself. The Bible is not the Word of God, but is a witness to the Word of God, and it can become the Word of God as Christians read it and encounter Christ, the true Word of God, within its pages.<\/p>\n
