Jesus Never Said "God Said It, I Believe It, That Settles It"
People are not perfect conduits of God’s word, but we are what God has to work with, so God works through people but we have our own biases and our own agendas and that’s true of the Biblical authors, like the Apostle Paul for example: he never claims his words are God’s words but he does trust that the Spirit is leading him and helping him as he leads the early church.
