On whose authority do people say the bible is inspired?
Because the Church is going to put together a set of letters written to communities here and there...declare them as inspired...while knowing that this set of letters will contradict the whole of catholic teaching that had developed in the prior 350 years. Then they will be the only people available that could read and write...painstakingly preserving said inspired letters...all the while worshiping in a manner that is completely contradicted by the letters that they are preserving ...yep makes sense to me

If you don’t believe, why would you care?
Unbelievers will not be saved anyway.

The Holy Spirit.
Acts 15:8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him.
