If you and I want to hear a word from God,

the best way to do that is to open the word of God.

And that there are many authors, but ultimately behind all of the human authors

is one divine author, God, the Holy Spirit.

That's exactly what he's saying.

And this is different than all other books on the earth.

This is actually a library at 66 books,

39 books in the Old Testament, 27 in the new,

all written by the Holy Spirit through human authors.

I've had the honor in my life, I don't even know how many books I've written and published,

maybe 20, I don't even know, and there's lots of books on the earth, but ultimately the books that comprise scripture, the word of God,

they are unique in that they are perfect and ultimately authored by God himself through human servants.

That's what he's saying with divine authorship.

That's why we don't edit it, because God doesn't need an editor,

he just needs messengers.

This is why we don't argue with it, we submit to it, this is why we don't argue with it.

We submit to it.

This is why we don't ultimately consider ourselves in any position

to alter it in any form because when God speaks,

he expects us to obey not to disagree.

In addition, he's talking about something called divine inspiration.

He says men were carried along to give us the prophetic words of scripture
