I really enjoyed defining substantive and formal authority.
Either way, the rabbi does not accept the authority on facts and opinions, and on matters of taste.
I asked:
And regarding some of the facts and beliefs in the Torah, if a person concludes otherwise, how is he obligated to believe it? The cycle repeats again: if he believes otherwise, how can he deceive himself?
 
I didn’t understand the division between whether it was from the Torah or the Sanhedrin-Chazal-Talmud-accepted them in the section on opinions, beliefs, and facts.
 
I would appreciate the Rabbi’s answer.
With great respect.

There is no difference. God, the Almighty, also has no formal authority over facts, simply because there can be no formal authority over facts. Of course, if God, the Almighty, says something, then it is true, because He certainly knows and He certainly does not lie, but this is a substantive authority. I accept it because it is true and not because I have to.
