Maybe. But he didn't dictate to his secretaries " hey write this down". The whole "Holy Spirit inspired" Bible idea creates a paradigm for people like you to think every word is verbatim from God. It's not.Jesus Christ and His words are truth.
That IS what Jesus said. (Matt 7:14, 22:14)That's a lot of people going to Hell then. Looks like a small minority are bound for Heaven.

He would never agree that only saved Christians are children of God.
You must feel pretty special then. Belonging to such an elite group.But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1:12 NKJV
then why does the bible say we have received thw spirit of adoptipn and mention two seeds,seeds of God and Satan?From Catholic Answers;
In a wider sense, because everyone is made in God’s image and likeness (cf. Gen.1:27-28) and God desires that all human beings be saved (2 Pet. 3:9; Jn. 3:16-17), all human persons can be said to be children of God. And yet we can’t fall into religious indifferentism.

Martin Luther wanted to reform it and yet was rejectedI don't believe I turned my back on the Roman Catholic church. I do believe that the Roman Catholic church has become corrupted over the years and today is nothing close to what the Church was 2000 years ago.
Hebrews 13:8 tells us that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.If it is any consolation, conservative Catholics are rejecting Pope Francis too now. They want him out. He is too vague for them. He doesn't clarify what he says. But some of that criticism is because they prefer conservative popes like Benedict. They actually want a very "legalistic" Pope imo. Francis is too much like a hippie for them.
and that's a good thing because man isn't ,what is good today will be bad Tommorow and vice versaHebrews 13:8 tells us that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
A fine sentiment, for the OT.Whoever is without wrong cast the first stone.
