Your comment about the Bible not being entirely wisdom because of "enough mankind in there too" seems to imply that you view the Bible as a human book with some divine insights, rather than being fully inspired by God. How do you feel about that? Do you think the Bible was fully inspired by God? If so, how could it be called divine? Scripture said it is "God breathed" by the Holy Spirit, and inspired by him, giving holy men of old what to write down. So it is written by the Holy Spirit. It is not flawed by man and his thoughts.

Yes that is God's nature. He is always good. There is no sin in him and yes he did write the Bible. Scripture says so. I never use a little "g" when I talk about God. The little "g" is only used when we talk about the man-made gods of this world. Idols.

When one accepts Jesus as their personal Savior, only then does the Holy Spirit come to them, dwell in them, teach and guide them, and give them understanding of God's Word. I love what you said about there is no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. So true. But I hope people will understand that it is not Christ who condemns anyone, but rather it is sin that condemns us, until Christ forgives us of our sins as we come to him, and redeems/saves us.

It is no ordinary book. It is totally full of wisdom and none of man's flawed wisdom. Scripture tells us it is divinely written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, not entrusted to just any person, but given to holy men of old under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

The scripture that specifically says the Bible was not entrusted to just any person, but written by "holy men of God" as they were "moved by the Holy Spirit" is 2 Peter 1:21.

It emphasizes that scripture is God's word, not just human ideas, and serves as a reliable guide, like a light in darkness, until Christ's return, making it authoritative for faith and life. His Word is a light unto our path and a lamp unto our feet.

2 Peter 1:21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

I love both of those quotes. That's how loving our God is ❤

@PatientlyWaiting25 that’s complete nonsense. It doesn’t show that he’s loving at all.

@Ferise1 someone said to me to think of it like, 'don't ask yourself what you think of you, don't trust your heart in this case...trust god''. For some people things like this help unlock a greater understanding of how to learn to be more compassionate and loving towards yourself.
