I can't see how it would undermine any such claim - if it had been, not

to see why the Son of God wouldn't be allowed to use a (holy)ghostwriter.

Ah. Gotcha. You want "guidance", but only so long as it doesn't conflict 
with your preconceptions.

Of course you can't. Not when that meaning's been so carefully selected 
from several equally viable alternatives in the first place...
