If the Bible’s writers were from men who sinned how can we say it’s without flaw? And, since writers were guided by the spirit to write the books/letters/poems, is that why we say God is the author of the Bible? Also, how were certain books/letters/poems chosen to be part of the Holy Book?

My response was that he is above, below and within, and we don’t understand how it happens, but have faith by the Words He spoke. How close was I?
