God speaks. Scripture speaks figuratively, as it has not literal voice.

Ahhh...definitions make a big difference. To me, literal voice with Scripture means spiritual voice and not just audible voice. (It's not this same way with Shakespeare, though!)

The "or" in my question caused a problem! I am editing to correct that.
