Question

Compare the Incarnation of Christ and the inspiration of the Bible, showing how God kept sin and error from both. Use complete sentences.

Answer 1

In both the birth of Christ and the inspiration of the books of the Bible, God initiated a miracle. A human agency was employed in both situations. In the birth of Christ, Mary was the human agent; and in the production of the Word, the human authors were the agents. In both cases, the Holy Spirit overshadowed the miracle to make sure it was without blemish. To make sure Jesus was without sin and that the Bible was written as true to God's perfect standard.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Compare the Incarnation of Christ and the inspiration of the Bible, showing how God kept sin and error from both.

The incarnation of Christ, according to Catholics and Christians, was the decision of God the Almighty who wanted to send his beloved son, Jesus, to incarnate on earth as proof of God's love to humanity. The Bible says that as proof of his unconditional love, God sent his only son to save humans from sin.

So Jesus of Nazareth, being the son of God, had no sin. And everything he did during his time on earth was out of pure love and pure intention to set the message of love straight and clear to be understood for humanity as a gift to all.
