 Is All Scripture Inspired and Accurate?  Part 1

It is important to understand that post-modern and post-postmodern Christian musicians do not believe II Timothy 3:16 when it asserts: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”    As a matter of fact, many of them believe that the references to music in the Bible have outlived their relevancy.  Remember that the Bible will stand all the tests of validity and reliability since it is a timeless true truth and not merely “truth-and” or “some-truth” or merely a work “containing truth”.  

The word inspiration in this verse is translated from theopneustos (2315) which is a *hapax legomenon so we do not have other context to help establish its meaning.  It means that all or the Holy Writ has come to us through inspiration which is God breathed.  This means that God directly influenced the human writers of Scripture and therefore, all of the God breathed words are the exact words that God intended to be written.  So, the thesis of the conservative Christian musician is that the true truth of the Bible concerning music is to be trusted to be accurate in the twenty first century.
