inspiration of Scripture

This post focuses whether 2 Peter 1:20 refers to the origination of prophecy or to its interpretation. This was a short two–page paper addressing this issue. Much more could be said on this topic, but this is just an introduction to the issue. Both sides have very valid arguments but this is my viewpoint on the matter

Second Peter 1:20, along with 2 Timothy 3:14-17, are two important passages affirming the divine inspiration of the Bible. However, the meaning of 2 Peter 1:20 is highly debated. The argument centers on the meaning of “interpretation” and whether Peter focused on the origin of prophecy or its interpretation. Both sides will be examined, and the context, grammar, and language will show that the origin viewpoint is the best option for 2 Peter 1:20.
