Where does the Bible say that the Gospels were transcribed directly from God?

I didn't (yet) say that it was. But you didn't answer my question:

Which books contain neither prophecy, nor revelation of prophecy, nor direct instruction from God Almighty, as written down by His declared agents, with the direct intention of preserving those words for posterity?

Yet? Scriptural proof please when you do.

Do you mind if I take these one at a time?

Prophecy: not aware of any books which do not prophesy.

Direct instruction from God Almighty: not aware of any books which do not contain instruction.

Am not aware that the Gospel writers are declared agents. Can you show me Scripturally? Who was the declared agent of Genesis, Exodus, etc.

The realization that these should be written down for posterity did not occur for quite a while since the Jewish tradition of oral instruction existed for thousands of years and the fledgling Church thought that Christ’s return was just around the corner.
