Is Paul's first-person writing inspired by God?

Yes. Whenever Paul speaks in the first person, it is still inspired of God and is God's Word, and believers can rest upon it. This aligns with the teaching that the entire Bible, from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation's last verse, is the inspired Word of God.

Les explains that he is a firm proponent that this is the inspired Word of God from Genesis 1:1 to the last verse of Revelation, and everything in between. He emphasizes that whenever Paul speaks in the first person, it is still inspired of God, and it is God's Word, and we can rest upon it. He encourages people to take their Bible and read and study along with him, because he does not want people to merely say that is what Les says, but rather that their Bible says such and such, so they can confirm from the Word what is shared, because this is the authority and the only thing we have to go on.

When Paul writes in the first person, is it still inspired Scripture?

Yes. Whenever Paul speaks in the first person, it remains inspired of God, is God's Word, and can be rested upon. The Bible is the authority, the inspired Word of God from Genesis 1:1 to the last verse of Revelation, including everything in between.
