The second part was much harder for me and I went around and around about it. My conclusion was that to the extent that scriptures are comprehensible by man, Paul knew more about what he wrote than anyone since. He was an inspired author,

Paul is not the Author.

and if Paul's own writings were above his head then who could have understood them? If no one, then the purpose of the Bible would be thwarted as the revealed word of God.

Paul told us that scripture is inspired. Is there evidence of this? I believe that there is. There are things in the Bible that men could not have put there. It is Paul’s letters that take us into the sanctuary. Could he have known that his fourteen letters would be the Leviticus of the New Testament?

Of course Paul was writing over his head and I think he knew it. He referred to himself as “less than the least of all saints.” I am not being sarcastic here, but I suggest that this is what happens to us when we stand in awe before our creator.

I have found that the more I study the Bible, the bigger it gets. Please don’t take me wrong; I think that Paul had a great understanding. Have you considered how your arguments would apply to Old Testament scripture writers?

Paul is not the Author.

??? Paul was not the ultimate author, but the words did move through his brain and hands. I don't think he was "zombified" while writing and had no idea what he wrote after he performed the task. He was a scribe for God, but not a blind one.

I fully agree.

I don't know if Paul had specific knowledge of the makeup of what would become our Bible, but it does seem clear that Paul understood, in all humility, that he had been uniquely touched by God for His ministry. He was personally mentored by Christ.

I agree that none of us will have a full understanding of the Bible during life, and I think Paul would have agreed about himself. However, what it sounds like you are suggesting is that there are incomprehensible truths in the Bible that will never be known by anyone. I don't know what purpose that would serve. As far as the OT writers, I think they had a belief in the Christ to come. That Christ later amplified their writings doesn't take anything away from them in their understanding at the time. Put it this way, if Paul came back now and read the whole Bible, and then in referring to other scriptures, which of his writings do you think he would have slapped his forehead over and said "so THAT's what I meant" :)

OTOH, you could be right, I admit I am not certain about this.
