are there any example (so i can understand the kind of thing you are talking about) you can give where a scholar has been inspired by the bible and new information has been released to them, which they have then written down?
I'm sure when he does he will make it very clear to humans that it is from him and no others.
But you need to understand that it does not mean he does not approve or back what a human may wright or actually lead that person to understand the correct point on a subject and in turn write down God's views on this.

FMF - Are you saying that the employees of the JW organisation who write The Watchtower and Awake! are divinely inspired in the same way you believe the bible's writers were?
to which you replied -
galveston75 - Yes we do. What they are used for is not to write another Bible but God inspired bible aids. God has always used humans in one form or another to bring us God's thoughts and guidelines. Is there any reason or proof that you may have that he still does not do that?
You stated that yes they were inspired, now you're claiming that they are not?! I'm confused.

He does not inspire as he did with the Bible. But he very clearly does help us to progress with knowledge, so in that sense he still communicates with man as opposed to abandoning us to own future.

I suppose he is feeding you to ask certain questions? If so that is fine but I'll not be answering him directly. Kind of gives me the creeps. Sorry.

inspired, it being directed by gods holy spirit does not mean that the writings they
produce are to be considered inspired, although we may claim Biblical extracts which
are considered inspired which the writers did not originate are contained in the
publications they produce.
