Subject: Were human authors aware of inspiration? |
Bible Note: That's an interesting response. I was at another forum where the answer was "No, they didn't". That answer bothers me. The example given was Luke's statement to Theophilus in Lk 1, "It seemed good to me..." That answer, however, doesn't seem to address the issue of whether or not Luke (or the rest) knew that they were writing was Scripture. In my original question here, I'm not sure if I made myself clear as to whether or not they even knew it was Scripture. (I called it as such, because that's how we view it.) I do, however, tend towards the "Yes, they did know that their writing was God-breathed (and that it is Scripture)." |
