Alright, then you disagree with the CCC when it says that the whole Bible is the inspired word of God. Your comment indicates a belief that every speaker in scripture was speaking for him or herself, so naturally Jesus was the most trustworthy. Since all others are less trustworthy, I can only assume the Church decides when to believe any of them and when not to?
I mean, really. If you have Jesus Christ Himself standing beside Ezra, who are you going to pay more attention to?
I would say whoever Jesus is speaking through since He does not contradict Himself. Again, it seems your position would presume that Jesus cannot or does not speak through other people.
Inspired is one thing; dictated or spoken to directly is another. Otherwise we wouldn't need the names of human authors! The insistence that God "wrote" the Bible simply doesn't reflect the reality that the books are credited not to God but to humans!
We name books after the real author, not according to some typist or secretary! Who names a book after the typist, or an official memo after the secretary who took the dictation? But that's exactly whom the Bible credits—typists and secretaries! Their names appear as the authors of each book! The whole notion is ridiculous! If God is the presumed author of the Bible then credit it "according to God!" Who cares who penned it for him?!?
LOL! So, if you saw Jesus and Ezra talking to you, you would possibly ignore Jesus because Ezra may be more genuine?
