Inspired is whatever it is that GOD did to ensure that people living today would have a hard copy of His thoughts about who we are, why our first parents were created, how they were created, how they should relate to each other, to HIM and to the environment given to them as their home. Any definition that brings us to this understanding is a good definition of inspired. What do you think?

So based on your comment above the OT is covered.

What..."All scripture is inspired by God" <br />What scripture did the author had in mind when he penned this? <br />Was it the NT letters/gospels, etc, or the OT? <br /><br />In context, it seems to me that the scriptures the author was talking about is the OT(etc).(Not the NT. The NT did not exist!)<br /><br />Before making an application to yourself/time/church etc, always study the immediate context of scripture.<br /><br />Also, always try to establish if the scripture you are using is there. That is, is it an addition/interpolation/redaction/ etc, or is it in the original manuscript? <br /><br /><br />"Inspiration" What is inspiration?

Are there certain parts of the Scripture that are inspired while some parts are inherited from the cultural milieu? Which parts of the scripture are not affected by the cultural milieu of its day?<br />Misogyny can be imbued into any context. Nothing said by Paul or the neo-paulists is automatically misogynistic. The misogyny comes with the interpretation not of the cultural milieu of the past but with the cultural milieu of the interpreter. Post modern or futuristic, Caribbean afrocentric-euro-colonized paradigms would have difficulty accommodating most of the social cultural essence of the Jewish common era.<br /> Hence principles that transcend time are what is important. The more important transcendental principles of male /female relationships are located in the paradigm of the first 3 chapters of Genesis, put in place long before there were any Pauls, Paulists, Paulines, Neo-paulites etc.<br />There were no inferior beings created in Genesis. Each role was ordained with dignity, worth and power designed to work together in a cohesive unit. Everything else is the opinion of the 'scholars of the day' and there be many of them<br /><br />From one NCU student to another <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242478530153328287.post-89513267549338979492013-03-18T19:18:52.178-05:002013-03-18T19:18:52.178-05:00This article is one of the most profound I've ...This article is one of the most profound I've ever read, especially on such a sensitive topic. The author, in my view, puts to bed all doubts concerning this issue. I think this should be published elsewhere, even in one of those prominent SDA magazines/ journal.

One of the most profound I have read to date on this topic. This article should be sent to the editors of spectrum magazine for publication on their online blog. Many articles on this topic have been published and discussed on that site. This perspective to my knowledge has never been put forth. It would be wonderful to offer this to a wider audience and especially from an up and coming scholar from NCU. well done!
