“Where do you think the Bible came from? You think it dropped from the sky? No, it was canonized by the Church.”

The Bible came from Divine inspiration. Many thousands of scholars have studied it in great detail and determined its authenticity.

Cannonization by the Catholic Church is not requirement for it to be true.

Many thousands of scholars have studied it in great detail and determined its authenticity.

Many scholars have authenticated a lot of books. There is an authentic Koran, the Baghavad-Gita, the Tao Te Ching. Why don't you follow those books?

Because a scholar authenticates a book doesn't make it's contents accurate or true, theologically. Otherwise, we'd have some difficult choices. So why the Bible and not one of these other books?
