In an office environment, if the boss ask a secretary to write a detailed report on a project, whose thoughts and words are in view? Correct, the secretary's. But if the same boss ask the secretary to take a dictation, whose thoughts and words will be in view Right again, the boss'.
Likewise, God commanded and dictated to Paul and to the other human authors what to write. So that you know God is the Author of the Bible, consider the scripture texts recorded below for they are self explanatory.
We know Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible called the Pentateuch, yet he was not born until centuries later. How did he know what conversations and events took place between God and Adam? God must have given him the information. This then was the methodology along with dreams and visions, angel visitation and so forth by which God communicated with man until the Bible was completed.
Ge 5:1 This is the book (Bible) of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Ge. 17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Ex 24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.
Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Still not convinced?
If the following scripture texts does not convince you that God is the Author of the Bible, then I don't know what will.
Jeremiah 36: 1-7:
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Take thee a roll of a book (Bible), and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:
6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
Baptism
Please take note the prime mover in the following scripture texts is God. Pay particular attention to verse 25.
24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 ¶ Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Does verse 25 sound like a metaphor to you and not the true washing of regeneration (baptism) as you've stated? Is it by sprinkling or immersion?
I wonder what scripture texts will you find faulty that are laid out in this post? If you do find any faults then you will have to contend with God and not me.
