    Not sure if there are any active JW's here. I think I've seen a few floating around. (I'm not talking about obvious lunatics like You Know but an average JW) Here's my question.

    Were ALL the bible writers prophets?

    Naeblis,

    I don't think so. Take for instance, Luke was a doctor

    Hi Nae,

    To the best of my memory (dubious) and off the top of my head (I don't have a "Scripure Inspired" book handy):

    Ezra was a scribe
    Nehemiah was a cup-bearer
    Matthew was a tax-collector
    Paul used secretaries
    I don't recall any of the above prophecying, but could be wrong.

    But most writers were prophets, especially in the OT.

    So would you say that quite a number of the bible writers were merely inspired?

    Naeblis,

    Those who wrote the books in the Bible was inspired by God.

    Fredhall,
    How does Yahweh inspire her writers? Does she blow in their ears? Does she send telepathic messages to their brains? Does she move their hands. What does she do if they get the message wrong in order to correct it?
    Just curious.

    Faron,

    Jehovah inspired his writers by using his holy spirit
