The answer to this should be obvious. It's one thing to say that the records of historical figures' speaking are in God's word but themselves do not necessarily reflect God's thought. That's entirely reasonable.
But it's another thing entirely to say that the very teaching the writer of a New Testament book is putting forth in the book is not God's thought.
How, pray tell, are we to know which teachings are actually God's thought and which are the ones God let the teacher teach to show us what people who are not really clear on God's thought would teach?
