As a Preacher you must have had a born again experience which mean you are inspired to preach and teach. Does this means that your words are the Word of God? I am not trying to pick a fight, I am just trying to make a point. I believe that the Bible is the inspired word and it is profitable for doctrine, I just do not believe that it is the Word of God because God did not right it. If the written word is so important the why did Jesus not write anything?

[godizgr8]

None of the authors of the books contained in the Bible were divine. This means the Bible is not the Word of God, those men were inspired of the Holy Spirit, but they were still human, Inspired to write due to an experience with God. Knowledge is not more important than experience. For about 1300 years there was no New Testament, but today it is worshiped as if it were God. Worship God in Spirit and in Truth, not in false teaching.

[pmiller1967]

I don't think I know anyone who believes the authors of the Bible were divine. That label is for God/Jesus alone. But, as you pointed out, they were inspired by God (not so much the "experience," but by God himself to accomplish his will). Logically, then, it stands to reason that if God inspired the writers of the Bible, then the Bible itself is the Word of God.

The New Testament was around from the beginning of its history. The Book is of Divine Origin.
