Scripture, to me, will always be the actual words of God Himself. They are the breath of God (All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16)). God Himself, is the author, while the writers were used as conduits. They were not, however, just, to use a crude metaphor, fax machines (receive data and print it out). They all had their unique writing styles that were woven into the message, but the message itself was not altered by their human wills. While humans aren't perfect, God is, and He protected His words throughout the ages, from the original, through every translation and iteration of His true Word. I believe in the infallible, true Word of God. I believe that it is still relevant to daily living, and essential for a healthy relationship with the Almighty.
While this is but a short description, this is what was discussed during class, and it felt fitting to stop at that.
