1.Do you agree that the Bible is a divine-human book? Why or why not? I agree that the Bible is a divine-human book, because all the words written down inside the Bible are very true because God told these writers of the books of the Bible what to write down, and also it tells about that person's perspective about how God inspired them or so.

The process of attempting to ascertain the original wording of a text. It is possible to have a high view of the authority of Scripture and a positive view of textual criticism at the same time, by God's own sovereignty.

A Bible translation is the Bible translated into the language of people of whatever language they speak. Translation is not a simple exercise because it takes time to figure out how to put down God's True Word into the language spoken by people all over the world in their native tongue. 1.The first thing to know about selecting a Bible is that there is a big difference between the Bible version or translation and the format used by publishers to market the Bible. 2. A second obstacle is the KJV's use of archaic English words and phrases. In addition to the use of obsolete terms such as "aforetime," "must needs," "howbeit," "holden," "peradventure," and "whereto," the KJV is filled with out-of-date expressions that either fail to communicate with contemporary readers or mislead them entirely. I feel more comfortable with the first approach, because I think it's cool that you can pick a translation of a Bible that you can understand better, and get to know better about God Himself. And also get that translation in your own native tongue, that way you may know God's indescribable and awesome Holy Word.

What are the guidelines for developing theological principles? The principle should be reflected in the text. The principle should be timeless and not tied to specific situation. The principle should not be culturally bound. The principle should correspond to teaching of the rest of Scripture. The principle should be relevant to both the biblical and the contemporary audience.
