The word inspiration means ‘to breath into’.
The
Scriptures
are
inspired-God breathed.
Inspiration is the process God used to breath His message into the original writers and carry them along by the Holy Spirit, so that they wrote what He wanted, free from error.
This means that God inspired every word in the Old and New Testament. He allowed the writers to choose the words, but He guided them to choose words He approved.

mean
that
the
entire bible is fully inspired.’
