Sorry, Karen; I don't think "Inspired Word of God" means "Straight From the
Deity's Mouth".  Paul on occaision says things which conflict with the
teachings as they appear in the gospel.  Paul sometimes contradicts himself.

Too many human minds have passed over the NT to where I am unwilling to
identify it completely with the divine voice.
