Jensen answers questions from earlier sessions. He speaks on caring for the deaf, and explores spiritual deafness to the Word of God. Jensen explores what it means for God to lead us, and to always hold scripture as the ultimate authority. He shows the God can speak for himself and is not restricted by language. Jensen explains what is meant for the Bible to be the inspired word of God, and the implications of that. 1. Unity - God is one, he is consistent, but it is complex as there are things we don't understand. This allows scripture to interpret scripture. 2. Scripture is infallible, as originally given. He also shows that translations can have errors, and that this does not remove the normal humanity of the language of the Bible. How does this affect me?, Cassette label reads : "Rev Peter Jensen Inspiration of Scripture 1462 ©1986" Box label reads : "Focus tapes Scripture - God's living Word Peter Jensen AFES National Conference 1986"
