Is The Bible Inerrant?

This is an attractive idea on several counts. The author occasionally writes of "we" and "us", which is reminiscent of the latter part of Acts, when Luke was now on the scene. It certainly seems to have come from within Paul's cohort, given the salutations at the end. But to simply say, "Paul must have written the epistle to the Hebrews" really doesn't do justice to this remarkable document. It could also have had considerable (or even primary) input from Barnabas, Apollos (whom Luke called "...a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures" [Acts 18:24]), Priscilla and Aquila, etc.

At the very least, the admission in 2:3 diminishes the notion that it was exclusively Paul. Someone else's pen, and even voice, was likely involved. And Luke would seem an obvious candidate.
