I have received questions about my infallible donkey. I will answer.Q: How do I know he is infallible?
A: First, I will consider the Bible as a historical document. Even non-Jews or non-Christians can agree that the Bible is the best attested-to historical document of its era. If we begin by treating the New Testament as a historical document, we notice that God claimed divinity, claimed to establish a nation, and that He made several predictions, including the prediction that the descendants of our Fathers would be as numerous as the sand.
Simply by examining history, we see in the nation an unparalleled earthly institution, in terms of organization and continuity of leadership. Moreover, the nation possesses an unparalleled, non-contradictory body of teaching, in keeping with It being God's People.
Additionally, countless public miracles are associated with this same nation - do I need to remind you of the whole Escape from Egypt Miracle that starred Mr. Heston, including extant, persistent, public miracles, that can be subjected to scientific examination (Creation, Prophets, Law, Captivity, Exile, Red Sea - too many to number, unlike those who point to supposed burial shrouds). These facts, and this simple argument, demonstrate, with extreme probability, that the Jewish Nation is of divine origin. This confirms God's prophecy, and thus, His divinity as well, again with extreme probability.
Since we now know, again, with high probability, that God is Who He claimed to be, and that the Jews are His People, we can be sure that Israel has the authority to determine the canon of Scripture.
And your alternative authority is... who? Religious Leaders dressed in silk and funny hats?
