But he has no doubt that Paul's writings (more prolific that his own were) as well as his own are divinely inspired Scripture. Paul, writing in Corinthians sums up the closeness of the role of the Holy Spirit in
Theology -- Interpretation of Text The Bible reveals the laws of the Old Testament and Jesus' belief in and fulfillment of those laws.
