The Ten Commandments are from the hand of God. The rest, divinely inspired or not, is from the hand of man.

Well, actually, the 10 Commandments are from the hand of man, too, unless the early manuscripts had "See Picture 2" with photos of the tablets.

In absolute terms, yes. Within the context of Christian theology, the distinction remains. I'm not a theologian, but it seems that distincinction would be important in a debate over "The Character of God's Words", in terms of determining what can properly be considered "God's Words".
