"How? If God is omniscient, and if God cannot speak a falsehood, then it would follow that when God speaks, "truth is declared from a position of authority"."
The point is that truth is not determined by anyone in authority. The determination of what is true requires that it correspond to reality. It is a judgement call and can be right, or wrong depending on reality as a reference. It is also important to note that God is logical and has free will. It is not correct to say God can not speak a falsehood. It is correct to say that He refuses to.
The point to be made is that just because anyone in particular might make a statement of truth from a position of authority, it is not the position held that determines the truth of the matter. It's how that statement compares with reality and the rules of logic apply.
