This quote "All Scripture is inspired by God...." is pervasive in all Judeo-Christian thinking. What I really would like to know is by what authority is the claim made that all scripture is inspired by God? When you get right down to it it is an act of faith that those who wrote the various entries in the Bible were being truthful when they said the were inspired by God. In addition it is a greater leap of faith to believe that they were incapable of misrepresenting their motivation. Then there are the various editorial decisions that sorted out certain scriptures because they were purported to be false. There again it is an act of faith that those editors were of virtuous motivations and beyond fallibility. Don't get me wrong I am not attacking the Bible in any way shape or form, all I am claiming is that it is only with belief that we hold the Bible to be divinely inspired. It is faith pure and simple for if it were not it would be called fact and so far there has only been one reported returning from the dead.
