Brian has no authority base beyond his personal whims to determine if the Hebrew text is the pure word of God or maybe the Greek OT at times, or maybe something else, maybe Tobit. Nor can he ever determine if the Received Text NT is right, or maybe the alexandrian corruptions, or maybe something else. Brian does not even know whether Jesus said "but by every word of God" in Luke's account.
Exactly. Unfortunately, it's like a blind clown running around with a bunch of Chinese phone books talking about "scripture" and "authority."
In some settings it would be funny, but in this setting it's just sad.
