None taken  :)

I understand the point your bringing up but I see you may have misinterpeted what I was trying to say. My point was if we are given the same understanding on something by the holy spirit when we write it down my writing will reflect my personality and your writing will reflect your personalty wither we like it or not. Does it change the spiritual meaning? No it does not. It's just the difference in how we write. If you and I wrote it exactly the same using the same expressions everyone would think one of us copied the other. God choose these writers with their distint personalities for this very purpose. The flesh has nothing whatsoever to do with spiritual context of these scriptures. What I was addressing is the different personalities God uses and how it is reflected in their writing styles.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, (amen to that)

John 6:63   
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life.

Psalms 119:160   
The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.

Hope I explained it better,
Tom

Yes Tom, that does help clarify a lot better.

Sorry if I misunderstood your comments...you would be surprised how many members bring this topic up (Matt, Mark, Luke, & John) with all kinds of speculative theories based on 'personality', nationality, etc. of the 4 writers. I was summing all those things up in my post, but like you pointed out correctly, that was not the direction you were coming from.

I guess I wanted to nip any of that in the bud, in case further comments diverted in that direction. Thank you again for clarifying things.

Tom, exactly what came to mind when I was reading all of this. As individuals we express differently and zone in on a certain thing, not that one is right nor one is wrong but just emphasized uniquely. Together we get a fuller picture, Luke was definitely more educated and his writing would be refined more as to details. There is not a word in the bible that is not true, perhaps a remembrance brought out more profondly but still true. Try writing something for the future and you want to get your point across, there will be emphatic statements, a little more drama but all is necessary to make your readers perk up their ears and take note. You know I always believed the bible to be true but one day a revelation came to me and I still remember that day what I was doing, the weather, etc, The Spirit said(not in words) the bible is true. I have never doubted again and always wondered why God revealed that to me because I thought so anyway. I don't worry or whatever when there are things I don't understand, I don't need to as there are others and we all make up the body of Christ. judy
