Is there some kind of standard for acceptance as authoritative? I'm seriously curious. I have no idea about this source; I'm wondering if you do or how you determine authority. Is it up to everyone to be their own authority on what is an authoritative source?
The Holy Spirit gave us the teaching authority of the Church and with it the Magisterium. Absent that you have the Googlesterium which I suppose has a certain appeal. If you look long enough you can always find an expert that agrees with your premise.
If you noticed, the words from the source spoke of historical AND verifiable facts concerning these books. Rather than throw up the smokescreen of "who is your source" and "how do I know they are authoritative", why not simply verify if what they said actually happened? I realize that this is the "go to" argument when the facts cannot be refuted, but don't you think we are all wise to that by now? Obviously, whatever source "we" quote will be unacceptable to "you" and, though it is a convenient subterfuge tactic, it can only work for so long. Y'all have started a dialog, a conversation, where you have criticized others who do not hold to the same viewpoint as you about the contents of the Bible. Why not refute the facts as they are presented? Reverting to the "Is it up to everyone to be their own authority on what is an authoritative source?" canard is more than a little insulting at this stage. Don't you think?
