C. What have you learned about the interpretation of biblical language concerning the works of God?
The biblical language is analogical in nature in the sense that the language which is used is the language that we are able to grasp. For instance when the bible says that God’s hand is not short to save, it does not imply that God has really a hand but in some sense there is away in which God a hand. With the use of biblical language, I have also learned progressively that there are no perfect answers for any problem. When you discuss the bible question from one side, the other side also awaits for discussion. I have also learned that in understanding the bible language and try to give a fair explanation it is wise to use the holistic model.

D.In what ways is biblical language itself a work of God
The biblical language it self is the work of God due the fact that inspiration through which we have the bible language was the work of God. In the book of 2nd Tim 3:16 Paul says that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God. Though we don’t believe in the verbal mechanism of inspiration we can deduce that God controlled the language that the prophets used in writing down the revelation of God. 2nd peter 1:21 says that the holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the spirit.
