When I say that God "wrote" the Bible I mean that He moved men to write only what He intended, and without any possibility of contamination by fallible men. I am saying that any individual intents (in any way contrary to exactly what God wanted), on the writers' own accounts, were not part of the mix. If you agree with that, then we are saying the same thing.

I agree with this. And why doesn't it follow that God would guide SOMEONE to be able to figure out what HE wrote in these letters? What is the point of writing a book that on one can agree on what it means?

Regards

I'm glad we can agree on the authorship of the Bible. I also agree that it makes sense that God would guide someone or some people to figure out what He wrote. In most cases, on the meaning of a particular writing, the ones He guided were the other writers in the Bible. :)
