For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." (II Peter 1:21)

There is something very important in this verse.
prophecy never had its ORIGIN in the WILL of MAN, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

The origin of Genesis did not come from Moses, and the purpose of Genesis was not to further Moses's will.

I'm not trying to argue with you. I'd like for us Christians to do a lot less of that. I'm also not wishing to be disrespectful. If I'm coming across that way, I apologize.

I don't understand your reply.

In post 178 (a response to post 135), you posted that it was a possibility that God inspired Moses to write Genesis (BTW, we know that all Scripture is inspired...not just that it is a possibility)...But that you didn't know how inspiration ocurred (visions, whispers?).

My post of II Peter 1:20-21 was to show that, via Scripture, we do know how:

"...men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

I am not sure what your post was about or how it related to the topic of the mechanics of inspiration.
