Tell the holy truth and nothing but the holy truth

On what moral basis should the Bible be taken seriously as the truth concerning the creator of all that is? (I mean, aside from asserting, by definition, that morality is whatever Yahweh said or did.)
Should we scrap the Bible and start fresh? Or is the Bible salvageable?

"Tell the holy truth and nothing but the holy truth ..."
so help you God.
Commentary: In other words, God has to help you to tell the truth.
The truth is itself inherently holy, i.e., synonymous with the good or Godly.
That is an absolute basis for morality, and truth.
This meaning is an explicit legal oath, as anyone who has watched a dramatic ration of TV oath-swearing before God and witnesses knows.
