I'm glad we can agree on the authorship of the Bible. I also agree that it makes sense that God would guide someone or some people to figure out what He wrote. In most cases, on the meaning of a particular writing, the ones He guided were the other writers in the Bible. :)
As you have labored to tell me, man will eventually corrupt such teachings. Look at Protestantism :-) With this concept in mind, WHY on earth would God NOT CONTINUE to guide men so they wouldn't screw up??? Do you really think the Bible is so clear that anyone can pick it up and come to the same conclusion. We got two people who disagree on so much - apparently, the Bible is not so easy to discern ALONE...
