[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We say "The peace of God be with you" every week in church. I know priests who close their letters with similar phrases, just as you show Paul opening a letter. Nobody involved is claiming to be speaking directly for God.

OP, most of your quotes sound very much like a priest or pastor who is anointed by God. They spread the gospel, that's their job, but it's much the same as Paul did! The provide advice to parishioners, just like Paul did. Do you think your priest/pastor is speaking directly for God?[/quote]
If you're inclined, you might be able to say "some" of these quote are just an anointing as a pastor, but even that would ignore what Paul said he was anointed to do, which was to make the word of God "fully known," meaning it wasn't fully known at the time he wrote. But even then, there are also passages where Paul claims to be speaking directly for God, beyond what any normal pastor would do. Additionally, saying "the peace of God be with you" is different from starting a letter saying "peace and grace FROM the Lord Jesus," same as if you got a letter FROM the office of the president or something similar. But that's not even the main thrust of the passages I cited. They are extremely numerous, and you can't discount them all, unless you're doing so out of a willful refusal to read what they mean.[/quote]
