Likewise.

When you say 'someone else's words' do you mean 'God's revelation to us' or something someone made up?

I mean another human being, other than the reader, wrote words in a book.

What do you mean by “God’s revelation” and who is “us” in this context?

Do you think God used the human beings who wrote the Bible to deliver His revelation to us or not?

"Us" refers to human beings, God's creation.

Yes I do.

They are still words in a book which have written by someone else, another human - agreed?

If the words are God’s revelation they are God’s words -agreed?

This was the question put you and which is my statement that you questioned earlier in the thread. Are you going to answer or just start playing your silly games again.

If the Bible is God’s revelation, the words in it are God’s words, not just words written by someone in book.

I assume you only read the books of the bible in their original language?

Because no translation can be 100% accurate.

btw: Did you ever come up with a reason for believing in just some religious books?

‘Yes’ is ‘Ja’ in German. Is this not 100% accurate?

No other religious book makes sense to me.

Additional definition in English:

“used as a response to someone addressing one or otherwise trying to attract one's attention.
"“Oh, Mr. Lawrence.” “Yes?”"

Off the top of your head, do you know if “ja” is used this way in German?

Giving me one example of a possible inaccurate translation doesn't mean that nothing can be translated 100% accurately. Do you really think it is impossible to translate any sentence 100% accurately into another language?

I don’t know. Do you? Or is either answer, yes or no, an article of faith?

So you do not accept that the words were written by another person other than the reader?

Sure, do you accept that the authors of the Bible were inspired by God and that they wrote the words that came from God?

Wolfgang said ‘no translation can be 100% accurate.’

All I have to do is provide one example that proves him wrong. I can think of plenty such examples.

Can you tell me why the sentence ‘I am going to school’ translated into German as ‘Ich gehe zur Schule’ is not 100% accurate?
