[.. We have no way of authenticating any of the verses in the bible as genuine, even if their message, their moral teaching, their spiritual revelation appear true to us. ..]

NO YOU don't have any way of authentication.. But those of "us" that follow the Holy Spirit's leading "DO".. The Holy Spirit can and does lead us into all truth.. At least as much of it as we can absorb(or are open to).. Those hamstrung "by dogma" have a real problem seeing truth, as did the pharisees.. and others..

CAUTION: Religion can and DOES hijack the Holy Spirit's ministry and other "help and comfort", by dogmatic concepts of sometimes heretical and pagan influences. As pupae of the Lord of the Flys(Beelzebub).. Example; purgatory..
