We treat everything written by Peter as the words of an Apostle with a clear vision, the inspired word of God.
We treat everything written by Paul as the words of an Apostle with a clear vision, the inspired word of God.
We treat everything written by Mark and Luke as the words of men with a clear vision, the inspired word of God.
I treat everything written by James as the words of a man with a clear vision, the inspired word of God.
The arrogance of speaking that some writers in the NT did not have "a clear vision", they were "confused", etc. is repulsive. James said to be a doer of the word and not a hearer only. That is so true of the arrogant little pissants known as the LRC.
