      This was one of my issues when I was a Christian. There is no external authority that the Bible was the inherent word of God and no way to ensure that the words within it were transcribed or even translated within the Authority of God.

      There is a whole study of Bible hermeneutics that is about finding authority within the Bible.

      You know how in the show Community Abed was always trying to meta the show? Imagine that, but really not funny and it’s taken seriously.

        Another problem with Bible (and other similar books) is that it doesn’t make sense that omnipotent god would communicate to humans trough vague book that would have many different interpretations and possibly have it’s meaning changed a bit with translations to different languages. At least there are Christians who accept that events from Bible never happened.
