Wisdom in "the Word of God" -Why Human Writers?

In his wisdom, Jehovah used humans to pen his Word.   Consider this: If Jehovah had used angels to record the Bible, would it have the same appeal?  Granted, angels could have portrayed Jehovah from their lofty viewpoint,m expressed their own devotion to him, and reported on faithful human servants of God.  But would we really have been able to identify with the perspective of perfect spirit creatures, whose knowledge, experience, and strength are far superior to our own? -Hebrews 2:6, 7. 

Through his use of human writers, Jehovah provided just what we need- a record that is "inspired of God"  yet retains the human element.  (2 Timothy 3:16)  How did he achieve this?  In many cases, he evidently allowed the writers to use their own mental faculties in selecting "the delightful words and the writing of correct words of truth."  (Ecclesiastes 12:10, 11) This explains the Bible's diversity of style: the writing reflect the background and personality of the individual writers.  Yet, these men "spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit."  (2 Peter 1:21)  Hence, the end product truly is "the word of God." -1 Thessalonians 2:13.
