GOD BREATHED ( 2 Tm, 3: 15 – 17)
That is, God himself or through the Holy Spirit told holy men of old just what to write. The Bible, then is the word of God. God is a person and can both write and speak. He wrote the two “Tables of Testimony” on stone. Ex.31:18; 32:16, and on the wall of Belshazzaz’s Palace. Dan 5:5, specifications for the Tabernacle and its furnishings and all the Levitical law and order of service. He spoke at the baptism of Jesus (Matt.3:17) and on the mount of transfiguration. Matt.17:15, and one day when Jesus was talking to the multitude. John 12:27-30. But God not only spoke directly to men. He spoke to them through the scripture Tim3:16. Matthew and John’s gospels contain 49 chapters, 1950 verses, 1140 of which, almost three-fifths, were spoken by Jesus, and he claimed that what he speak, not of himself, but that the Father which sent him, gave him commandment what he should speak. John 12:49,50. We see then that God can both write and speak, and therefore can tell others what to write and speak..
