That's it for now.Yes, it was all God created/inspired, etc...

God Bless!

It was all done on purpose, and with an ultimate purpose, by and under the umbrella of God the Father, and is all useful for teaching, etc, and there is not one thing in it that does not teach truth, or a truth, or that is completely useless for teaching one truth or another about one subject or another, etc... (see 2 Timothy 3:16)...Going by your answer, does this mean you see no difference between "inspired" and written?

No empty or useless words, in other words, etc...
God Bless!

Australopithecines.A comedian once basically said, there are a lot of humans, there are a lot of monkeys, so where are transitional creatures from monkeys to humans, there should be a lot of them too.
Here is the challenge I will set before you all right now in this thread:
"Ask me any question you want to about God and/or the Bible and I can 100% guarantee you that I can answer it in a way that is logical and/or reasonable, or that is logically and reasonably possible, etc, ok..."
God Bless!
There are details you don't know, and I just assumed you wanted the short answer, so...So... that's a "yes."
Wouldn't you have saved yourself some embarrassment if you had said that before?
Don't mind if I do... The 1989 film "Lean on Me" was inspired by the late "Crazy" Joe Clark (played brilliantly by Morgan Freeman) and his tenure as school principal at Eastside High School in Patterson, NJ.
Why then can we not "basically" say that Crazy Joe wrote the movie?
Or can we?
I'm not very good with exact dates, but it was supposedly written during the time of the Israelites captivity or exile in Babylon, etc...When was the book of Daniel written?
There are details you don't know, and I just assumed you wanted the short answer, so...
So that's why I just invited you to just then ask me more about it if you like, etc...
And just let you decide what specific details you really wanted to know, etc...
Because the short answer is that all of the entire Bible was written by God, etc...
But ask me more if you like, etc...
God Bless!

See my post to you just above this one right now, that I must have been in the process of writing just as you were writing yours just now smarty-pants, etc...So... inspired vs. written -- same thing or not?
Because remember this?
"Ask me any question you want to about God and/or the Bible and I can 100% guarantee you that I can answer it in a way that is logical and/or reasonable, or that is logically and reasonably possible, etc, ok..."
just fyi... you're blowing it.
And yet there are those who believe that Genesis is true but is not to be taken as a history book. That there are deeper truths. That Torah is meant to teach us righteousness and not history or science.

I'm calling it a night for now...Sounds an awful lot like the answer to my "inspired vs. written -- same thing or not?" question went from "basically the same thing" to "sometimes yes; sometimes no."
Let's go over the things I knew (but didn't believe and still don't):
"and it is when Jesus told Peter when Jesus asked Peter who he said or thought He (Jesus) was, etc, and he said "You are the Christ, the Son of God" and Jesus kind of praised Peter for that having been told to him or revealed to him directly by God the Father, etc,"
This has absolutely nothing to do with anything; stay focused.
"sometimes, or most times, people spoke by "inspiration" of God the Spirit, but occasionally they also spoke under direct revelation from God the Father directly sometimes also,"
Nothing new here -- but it does raise an interesting an interesting question: Does God merely provide the idea, or the exact words?
Your answer roughly translates to a definite "sometimes."
"but then also spoke with "tongues of men and angels" sometimes also,"
...which means what, specifically? After all, roughly half the human population speaks with tongues of men, so that's hardly worth mentioning, so what does "tongues of angels" mean?
Before you answer, I am aware of the phenomenon of "speaking in tongues," also known as glossolalia, which comes across as little more than babbling incoherently and pretending its a coherent language. I'm sure you're familiar with this as well.
"it was a very powerful high ranking angel who told John what to write down when he wrote the book of revelation, for example, etc,"
Well, I'm certainly glad that John didn't (allegedly) get his ideas from a mere angelic foot soldier -- how embarrassing would that be?
Incidentally, where in Revelation did John indicate that the angel who allegedly revealed this to him was either "very powerful" or "high ranking"? I mean, surely compared to John himself, this being was one like unto the Son of man, but by angelic standards, how do we know it wasn't just an intern?
"but it all was "insipred", or and/or was/is always all under the "umbrella" of God the Father, etc, and none of them were ever in conflict, etc..."
And the number of Expanded Universe novels of the Star Trek universe and/or was/is always under the "umbrella" of Gene Rodenberry, etc., and none of them were ever in conflict, etc...
But Gene himself never wrote them.
Which brings us back to the original question that you never did get around to answering: is "inspiring" something the same as writing it?
You seem to have lost your train of thought in your efforts to prove superior knowledge.... which -- spoiler alert -- is still blown.
True but not true, how convenient- and meaningless.
QV please:Which brings us back to the original question that you never did get around to answering: is "inspiring" something the same as writing it?
