The context is that we can talk to God directly but God *most often* uses *middlemen*.
God ALWAYS speaks to us directly. We don’t need to go THROUGH another human being and reading what was penned or printed by another human being is NOT going through them to get to God.
I do not understand the Catholic obsession with giving people credit for what belongs to God alone. You all go through priests to get to God and saints to get to God. I have yet to see a Catholic claim or admit that God spoke to them directly through the Holy Spirit. Some person along the way is always getting the credit for it.

So you don't believe the Apostle Paul wrote that letter (1 Timothy) to Timothy?
Open your Bible right now and see for yourself. (Every Bible usually gives the Apostle Paul credit for writing the epistle (letter) we call "1 Timothy" -- is your Bible different?)
God Himself chose the Apostle Paul (and many other human "middle-men") to write every single word in the Bible, and the Bible itself gives those "middle-men" credit for their writings in the "Written Word of God", when it is known who actually wrote them for God as God's "middle-men".
