Not referring to all of scripture, but, only the words of
a particular person.

It litterally says inspired, but, this is not at all the same thing
as word-for-word the word of God...

Then the authors of NIV are in big trouble, because their

Yes, but, none of your other verses show that the bible
claims to be the Word-of-God... This is merely a
