If God's word is God breathed through the Holy Spirit while people are writing these letters that are in the Holy Bible then technically what Paul wrote in his letters is really Jesus speaking through Paul so technically there Jesus's words and not Paul's.
One of our ministers would sometimes wave his Bible over his head at the pulpit and say, "If there's even one word in this book that is wrong, you can just toss the whole book into the trash can."

Originally posted by RBHILLMaybe it would help if you quote the part of the Bible that says this.
The same can go for everybody else Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, King David, Moses, Joshua, Peter, Jude, King Solomon, and everybody that wrote a book of the Bible was all throw the Holy Spirit.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat refers to 'scripture' not 'the Bible'. I guess you could claim the writer being inspired, knew what would go into the Bible. Of course then you need to deal with the fact that I have my own version of the Bible with a few more books than the one you have, and my copy has that exact same verse, so my copy must also be wholly inspired.
