“The Bible is the only source that is to be righteous period, all others are false.”

You can’t be an historian with such whomper-jawed nonsense.

The Bible purports to be the only source of the true God, it is a narrowly focused, very brief compilation, makes no attempt to be an exact and only source of world history and current events worldwide, and does not claim at all the be the only source of historical knowledge. It does not make any claims at all on the correctness of secular sources and knowledge. And it is nonsensical to claim it does.

The Bible writers made no attempt to address important events that were currently happening at the time, only when it involved Israel. For example, Israel existed contemperaneously with the Greek civilization and the Bible never even mentions it, although the two nations certainly would have had much communication, etc.

“This is absolutely a claim of uniqueness.”

The claim of uniqueness has only to do with the worship of the God of Israel and his directing, fighting their enemies, and the Israelites sinning away their blessings.

“You can’t be an historian with such whomper-jawed nonsense.”

This is the argument and belief from 99% of believers so I assume it is the same with you? No? You do not believe the Bible is the sole unique righteous authority?

If so, then by Christian standards you are not a true believer because literally word for word this is what everyone faithful does indeed believe...
