Well, you’ve decided all on your own that the Bible is authentic. Personally I don’t have the scholarly and theological background to decide this for myself, but just goes to show the advantages others have enjoyed. Something I would never dare to pronounce upon. Rather takes my breath away. Just goes to show the advantages of being your own pope.

It's like going to the bathroom. Somethings you have to do/decide on your own.

Like Clint Eastwood said "A man's gotta know his limitations"

Just goes to show the advantages of being your own pope.

I have already addressed this. I'm not a pope but that is a wicked cool hat he has.

Well, you’ve decided all on your own that the Bible is authentic.

Likewise, your decision, like anyone's, that the Bible is authentic (or whatever you want to call it) is yours.

Whether the decision is based on the witness of the Spirit within you, your own decision, or the decision of others, you still have to accept the decision of others, thus making it ultimately your own decision to trust THEM.

And how do you know THEY are correct? Did you decide all on your own that they are trustworthy? Or are you simply taking their say so on the matter of their trustworthiness?

How is trusting men any better?

Well; haven't YOU decided on YOUR own that a group of MEN will tell YOU what the BIBLE 'clearly' means?
