We’re getting nowhere. No matter how many times I separate the Holy Spirit inspiration for the Scruptures, you tangle it up with individual decisions/actions that have nothing to do with the Scriptures themselves. It’s a futile discussion.


I agree with you that holy scripture is inspired by the holy spirit but maybe you should look up the meanings of inspire.

I do not believe any writer was forced by the holy spirit to write anything i believe the writers used their own words.

Here’s a helpful commentary:

Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,.... That is, all holy Scripture; for of that only the apostle is speaking; and he means the whole of it; not only the books of the Old Testament, but of the New, the greatest part of which was now written; for this second epistle to Timothy is by some thought to be the last of Paul’s epistles; and this also will hold good of what was to be written; for all is inspired by God, or breathed by him: the Scriptures are the breath of God, the word of God and not men; they are “written by the Spirit”, as the Syriac version renders it; or “by the Spirit of God”, as the Ethiopic version.
