Theists are claiming that people can say things in the bible without what they said becoming the word of god.
A question to theists; if you say the above, that people can say things in the bible that aren't the word of god, how many other things would you lose? You take plenty advice from dialogue in the bible- are you admitting that that is not automatically what god wanted?
A news reporter can relay a story to someone else to write, this could be a story of great tragedy, but not necessarily the desire of the news reporter.
The entire Bible is the inspired word of God giving us the truth of certain issues, this does not mean God agrees, it does mean God wants use to see the truths that are relative to us.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
