There is nothing in the Bible that says that. This is something the Protestants/Baptists imply by their (human) definition of what "inspired" means.
Besides, I have already told you this before, any other religion claims that God wrote their holy books too. You have dismissed that without any proof because there isn't any.
Yes, the Bible gives us the HOW about loving Him and others. Jesus also specifically taught that we should learn the scriptures: Matt 22:29 : Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
No, not "we." He is telling this to the Sadducees, a priestly class, who were expected to know the Scriptures the way you'd expect a physician to know anatomy or a lawyer to know the law. It's their job. It's not everyone "job" to know the scriptures, FK. Nowhere does the Bible say it is. That is the Protestant/Baptist superstition known as the sola scriptura.
The way to avoid error is to know God's word
How can you know the "God's word" if there is no agreement on what that knowledge entails? There are thousands of denominations that interpret "God's word" differently, the "core beliefs" notwithstanding, and even there (such as the Holy Trinity) it is not universal among so-called "Christians."
Each and every Christian or "Christian" sect uses precisely the same "God's word" you and I are using, to support their sectarian beliefs, and each assumes being absolutely right.

It goes back to what the original words MEAN. Words either have meaning or they do not. "God-breathed" and "inspired" do not mean mere blind nudges. At least the Latin Church seems to understand that. It is YOUR (human) definition of what "inspired" means that has no backing.

I'm not sure what you're saying I have dismissed. I HAVE said that I don't much care what other faiths claim. The truth of MY faith is not at all dependent on whether other faiths, which are false, make some of the same claims. By your reasoning all I would have to do to destroy Orthodoxy would be to adopt the same claims, but add that it is fine to have sex with small children. Your faith would be diminished somehow because of my new invented faith. That's what you're saying. :)

What??? Jesus said the scriptures testify about Him. Jesus says He wants us to love Him. We must KNOW who we love. The scriptures tell us who Christ IS. How can this be so difficult?

There is solid agreement about God's word among Bible-believing Christians from many different denominations. We may disagree on some interpretations here or there, but nothing that prevents solid agreement on those core issues. Again, you are taking the all or nothing approach, leaving you with nothing. We do not take that approach and celebrate the significant amount that we have in common. People can call themselves whatever they want. I know a Bible-believing Christian when I meet one.

So what? Is Orthodoxy lessened in your mind because there are hundreds of millions of us out here that disagree with you? Does that require you to "throw out" the Bible because we interpret it differently? It certainly doesn't for us. Your side can interpret it any way it wants. That doesn't change anything for us.
