Interesting question! I thought it was simple to answer at first but it’s taken me a while to think. If words are from God, that has implications. If not, there are different implications. I think God spoke all creation into existence. I think He is The Word so words are glorious and perfect. How we, mankind, use them, however, is a different story. I think they came to us from above and have been corrupted by below. In between, I think it’s better to say less sometimes so as to be precise and careful. 🤷♀️

"*If words are from God..*." While everything is from God, "The Word" is Jesus; & also the Bible. Words used by us, w/out inspiration, are just words, a means of communication. In general, short of disagreements, it seems to me that as long as there is goodwill & dialogue, misunderstood words can be easily clarified. Unfortunately, goodwill isn't guaranteed🙄: "*The heart is deceitful above all things, & desperately wicked: who can know it?*" (**Jeremiah 17:9**)
