What kind of convoluted thinking is that?
"God breathed" NOT "man breathed". Psalm 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
Exodus 34:27 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write down these words,
Exodus 17:14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered
To the angela of the church in Ephesus write: followed by dictation.
To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:" followed by dictation.
To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:" followed by dictation.
To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:" followed by dictation.
The fact of the matter is, that unless one rejects the belief in free will, one can’t believe the human authors of Scripture were some kind of secretary, writing down word for word what God dictated. Now were there some instances where during a vision or some other miraculous event they were given words to write down? Obviously. But where such miracles are NOT described we are not to believe they were some robots when they wrote Scripture or else there’s really no such thing as “free will”.
This is why the authors are always called the “inspired authors”. Their inspiration came from God but the words were theirs (unless specifically indicated otherwise). St. Paul’s writings were, for the most part, LETTERS for goodness sakes. Do you think he sat down to write those letters, went into some kind of trance, and then allowed his hands and arms to move a pen to shape some letters and words that weren’t his own?
Really?
