Are Paul's letters, God's word?



I was recently asked by someone, "Are the Apostle Paul's letter's considered the Word of God? After all, Paul is merely a human, right?"

My answer to this person was brief, but to the point.

I responded by saying, "One of the certainties we have in the Christian faith, is that “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16), which is why we believe with immoveable conviction that every word Paul penned in the New Testament came from God, and was not conceived through his own human reasoning. Jesus also affirms that Paul would be a chosen vessel for God, to proclaim His message to the world (Acts 9:15, 18:9-10, 22:14-15, 23:11, 26:15-20). The apostle Peter supports our belief, as well as Jesus’ proclamation about Paul, as he includes his writings with the rest of the scriptures (2 Peter 3:15-16)."
