Is The Bible Inspired?

What if we got 2 Timothy 3:16 wrong?

For generations, Christians have built an entire view of the Bible on 2 Timothy 3:16. This verse was proof that Scripture is “God-breathed” and therefore inerrant. But what if that famous translation has actually been a mistranslation? What if inerrancy, and hundreds of years of Bible-reading, was based on a Church Father’s mistake? We’re not trying to sound all Davinci Code over here — we’ve just got some questions.

So we’ve invited biblical scholar John Poirier, to teach our July class to look at that one word: the word behind “God-Breathed.”

This class includes:

  • One-night live class

  • Live Q+A session

  • Link to class recording

  • Downloadable class slides

Cost: PAY WHAT YOU CAN

 

Topics we’ll cover:

  • Look at the ancient Greek context for the word behind “God-breathed” 

  • Look at the history of how it’s been translated

  • What are the implications if we re-translate it differently?
