No, you just formed your own opinion of my comment - which is exactly what my statement in regard to individual perception meant.What you said sounded like an excuse as to why the writers words do not match. It seemed that when needed, you equate things which are supposedly of and by a greater power than what is available in this world with worldly things.
If something is Of God, shouldn't it be God-like also? And Constantly, not conveniently.
What is written in the bible is claimed to be THE word of god. Meaning that what is written in that book is exactly the way God absolutely intended it to be. And god chose people to do the job.
In my opinion, any believer that makes an excuse as to why something is incorrect or may be one way or the other because of human error or human ways or human capabilities, is not confident of their beliefs and then I have to question if any of it is indeed god-like and why a god would want or allow it's word to be anything other than EXACTLY as intended.
To be more detailed in where you’re wanting go with that opinion, “moved on by the spirit” or felt led of the Lord mean the sane thing. That’s why two different preachers can take a verse and preach two different messages from it and each message give insight or direction to those in need. Neither were wrong.
An eyewitness account by two different people can and does in many cases differ in detail.,
