The conflict among Christians about whether or not Jesus was God is grounded in two different understandings of the Gospels—and the New Testament and the Bible as a whole. One view—generally embraced by “conservative” Christians—sees the Bible and the Gospels as “divine information.” That is shorthand for the view that the Bible and the Gospels are the direct revelation of God and thus have a divine guarantee to be true. For them, divine inspiration means divine inerrancy.
