I was trying to show why Wagglebee (?) wrote “God did not say it St. Paul wrote it (I think that was the phrase) You took that to mean we deny the inspiration of the Scripture. We take it to mean that human agency had a part in the writing of the Scripture. That St. Paul did not lack free will while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I admit she phrased it badly but it was not to show that St. Paul’s writings are not inspired.

Free agency? You mean the authors of Scripture wrote something other than what God wanted written?

Does that make sense to you?

That St. Paul did not lack free will while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Did Paul have the "free will" to go off script and write his own dialogue?

Your own catechism denies that possibility.

This makes absolutely no sense ... So Paul had the "free will" ability to write things contrary to the things that came to his mind under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit?? How would one call that infallible or innerent or even inspired??
