Translations are never considered  inspired and not all translations are created equal.     Again, you need to spend some time studying the doctrine of inspiration.

Of course some translations are better than others, but that doesn't invalidate them. And the ability to read Koine Greek and/or Hebrew doesn't guarantee spiritual understanding.

All of that is beside the point.   The point is that the BCP is not inspired to degree or on the level that Scripture is inspired.

Nobody (as far as I know) has ever claimed that it is inspired. It's a liturgy, that's all. It's based on Scripture, it includes many Scriptural phrases, and so can be used by Christians (if they want to) with confidence.

OS2 was apparently trying to make a case for calling it inspired.

No Anglican would say it is inspired. (I know several good Christian Anglicans.)

No, it is the point, i.e., which biblical translations are inspired, and which are not?

It was at least as inspired as Handel's "Messiah."

"Almighty God, unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known,
and from whom no secrets be hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts
by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee,
and worthily magnify thy holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen."

Just another uninspired liturgy?

There are some great prayers in the Book of Common prayer, but it is not inspired
