How can a man speak 100% divine words while writing letters to other people ?
Was he a Prophet after Jesus or are his words equal to the words of Jesus ?

So if their words were divinely inspired then why are we changing them in the new editions ????

For many Christians, without thinking, they quote Paul as greater than Jesus.
Why? Because it was Paul who created the parasitic religion of Christianity to destroy the true message of Jesus and the apostles.

Actually, the most telling of all correspondence by Paul are his letters whilst in prison in Rome charged with the murder of James, the blood brother of Jesus and true first Pope.
See:

In fact, so heavily influenced is the word of Paul throughout Christianity that when challenged, many faithful see it as an attack on Jesus!
How extraordinary! A man who never physically met Jesus (we are told). A man who was never a proper apostle and yet his word is considered by many Christians to be superior to all, sometimes even Jesus...

Paul was not a prophet. He was an apostle of Christ.
Most Christians (Catholic, Orthodox, and 99 percent of Protestants) believe that Paul's writings are the Word of God set down by Paul as the Holy Spirit inspired him to write.

The Apostle Paul was ordained by Christ to preach to the Gentiles. The words he spoke were "God breathed", meaning that they were divinely inspired. So in essence, yes, they are the directions and word of God, or they would not be included in the Gospels and Epistles.
No one claims Paul to be a prophet, neither did he claim to be one. No one says his words are "equal" to Christ's words. But he was a witness for Christ, that was his job, and calling.

I agree, many do make excuses approximately all distinctive styles of concerns and twist the word to make it installation for them...concern of God, blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, and talking in tongues, to call some. and those are interior the hot testomony too. as a techniques because of the fact the previous testomony...many have self assurance that God has replaced when you consider that then. yet it quite is incorrect...all it quite is replaced is that Jesus got here interior the NT, telling us to not be certain by making use of the regulations of the OT, yet merely love God and be frightened of Him. while Jesus died and rose back, The Holy Spirit found people who believed in Him as Lord and a similar is going as we talk as properly. All who have self assurance on Him and persist with His instructions are saved. So, all people who rejects the two the OT or the NT will not be able to be saved because of the fact they're rejecting God Himself.

The New Testament is the inspired word of God. Christian men filled with the Holy Spirit writing what God has taught them

Paul was commissioned by God to bring us the good news. Whether or not you believe every word to be 100% the words of God, one thing is sure, the gospel is very plain for all to see and read, and that's what's important.

If the words in Paul's epistles aren't holy scripture, then you're going to have trouble with what Peter said about them.
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Hmmm I take it you dont believe in Psalms or Proverbs or Ecclesiastes or The Song of Solomon? Was Solomon and David also unfit to write the word of God? All of the Bible was written to other people God's people. Which is the Church.

DIdn't they tell you ? It is the INSPIRED word of God.
These men who wrote the Bible were all inspired by God and God would NOT allow them to incorrectly record his word.
THERE. See? The guy right above me said so too. heh!
