CSC: WELS Topical Q&A: Bible: Inspiration/Inerrancy: Triune God
Most Recently Posted Ask a Question
Q:Can the actions of the Spirit and the actions of the Word be combined as one action with reference to the Inspiration/Inerrancy of the Word?

A:It is not clear what you are asking. The Holy Spirit has two relationships to the Word. In inspiration the Holy Spirit guides the writers so that they record the exact thoughts and words that God wants them to write. There is no action of the Word; the Word is breathed out from God. Inerrancy is a result of inspiration.

The second relationship of the Spirit to the Word is that he works faith through the Word when it is read or spoken. This power of conversion is attributed to the Holy Spirit as the primary power and to the Word as the means the Holy Spirit uses.
