So you do not believe Holy men of god spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit?
God inspired and was active in the transmission of the WORDS. He was also active in preserving those WORDS (very Word of God , not message)
Didn't say that. I am talking about the teaching of 'verbal, pleanary inspiration" offered as reason for confidence in the infallibility of the scriptures. I believe that the scritptures are authoritative in matters of faith -- but this teaching is a philosophical necessity (for me) and not something I can prove.
