The Bible is “foreign,” yet you accept its Author.

The bible is based on The Ta’anach, which is Jewish, with Moses as the first author, and has not had a ‘foreign seat’, (aka the ark of the Covenant/The Mercy Seat) since the destruction of the Second Temple, in CE 70.
As of the time that the Gutenburg Bible was first published, there was no Jewish ‘foreign seat’.
Only since 1948, with Eretz Israel being hotly contested by Talmudic clerics of orthodox, ultra-orthodox, Lubavitch, reform, and congregant synagogues, even here in America, and with no sole cleric to turn to, in Jerusalem, as the recognizable tittular speaker for Judaism, there still is no ‘foreign seat’.
