A trickier test might be to determine not which book is holy and which is human, but which book is Divine and which is Diabolic.
The devil's dashed clever (according to the handbook); it doesn't seem out of the rules for him to create a book which could fool the faithful. In point of fact, there's a passage in (I think) 2 Thessalonians in which God makes people believe a lie. So...how could one reliably tell holy writ from a devilish temptation to do wrong, especially if God takes a hand and forces you to believe the wrong book?
