Truth does not need every author in the Bible, every book in the Bible, and every author and every book in the past 2,000 years to be truth.
But this is America and you are still permitted your opinions.

I don't think I expressed an opinion, except maybe about the Septuagint (it's not my opinion ... it's a fact).
It's clear what you are saying: The Bible says it. We accept it. That settles it.
But that doesn't settle it. We still have to determine what the Bible says. And since evidence proves the words in the Bible have been meddled with --Acts, for example, was still being modified and edited well into the second century ... not to mention all the differences in the manuscripts -- we have our job cut out for us. If we even care.
Most Christians don't care. They get their Christianity from their preacher, and other believers, or their MOTA, and ... and ...
THAT settles it.
