I thought God is in control of your life. Are you now saying He is not?
God is in control. The term "God's word" refers to His specific revelation to us in the Bible. It is infallible. I am not infallible since I make mitakes. :) God allows me to make my mistakes, ultimately for my good. Other mistakes I would have otherwise made, He disallows to happen for His own reasons and for my good. So, God remains in control.
FK: "We know that it came from God if it is in the Bible."
Kosta: And how do we know that?
FK: The Bible claims it is from God
Kosta: Oh, boy, if I have ever seen circular reasoning! This one is a keeper, Forest Keeper! :)
You don't work for NBC do you? :) You edited my statement to make it look like that's all I said. My answer was:
The Bible claims it is from God, and internal/external tests show that it is. Ultimately, Holy Spirit confirms God's word for us so that we can know it.
It is important that the Bible makes its claim, but that is not enough alone. God speaks to us through the Bible and His sheep will recognize and follow His voice.
That's your opinion, FK. I could think of hundreds of examples where that is not necessarily true, and where people made mistakes to their perdition.

The part I left out was non-essential. Your circular reasoning was still there. The rest was conjecture.

There you go again. :)
