I seriously hope that you are not claiming, for example, that God picked up a pen and parchment, wrote a letter to the Romans, and signed Paul's name to it.

I seriously hope that you are not claiming, for example, that one day in the First Century AD God miraculously caused Bibles, fully bound, to appear on every Christian's living-room table.

Such claims directly contradict the epistles and Gospels. Somebody (human) wrote all those histories, prophecies, letters, and visions. Somebody else (human) went through a process of vetting them, sorting out what was Divinely Inspired and what was not. That various human somebodies had Divine guidance and protection in their endeavours doesn't negate that the human somebodies were involved.

I suppose I shouldn't find your odd disinterest in the origins of the Bible surprising (you've made it clear in the past) but it's still sad.

Semantics.

Can we both agree that God wrote the Gospel of Luke through a man named Luke?
