 2 Peter 1.21, holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. These were the men who wrote the Bible under the inspiration, the leading, the God-breathing of the Holy Spirit. They used their hands, but God was speaking through their hands. The Bible was written by 40 men over 1,500 years, 66 books in all. And one of the most wonderful things about the Bible is that it's preserved to this day.
