The Apostle Paul stated: "All scripture is inspired and beneficial.....
It seems that Bible writers came under God's "hand" or guiding power, God could stimulate writing or act as a restraining force and prompt these writers to deal with certain matters, add or restrict their inclusion. The end product would, in every case, be that which God desired, and could be called inspired.
Clearly there is a distinction between the Bible and other writing. The evidence is that all the sacret scriptures (66 books) were consistently recognized by God's servants, including Jesus and his Apostles, as inpired.
Inspired by God does not mean simply a heightening of the intellect or a higher degree of accomplishment or sensitivity, but rather result in a writing that is uniquely inerrant, and having the same authority as if spoken by God directly.
It's true, some of it's passages are cryptic, even perplexing at times, However that is not the same as innacurate, contradictory or erroneous.
I propose that if there existed an undisputed and unassailable error or contradiction in the Bible, enemies of the Bible would advertise it widely.
The fact that that has not happened is a testimony to the accuracy of God's word
Can we truly say of God's word: "these sayings are faithful and true....." ?
