    Your not to trust the bible either. Especially man's interpretation of scripture. Trust your heart for you know right from wrong and through that alone and how you treat others says who you are to a higher deity few ever find let alone know. When it's time for you to learn of him, he will touch you as no church on earth can, and you shall be comforted in truths that's not of this world or taught by men for your question is right on. You can't trust men when it comes to truth. Seek it for yourself, within yourself. God bless.

    By not assuming that man didn't write down what God inspired them to write down as HIS words and not theirs. What? You think they they all were Joseph Smiths? Think again. Too easy belief is really not belief. It's a cop-out.

    So many people go by how men interpret what the bible says, instead of going directly to GOD and asking the Author's views. It says what it says. That's too hard for some to do. They'd rather believe man. There's that easy belief again.... pesky thing. Don't think you are alone.

    Man did not write the Bible. God did. Though He used man as a medium to produce physical written script, it was God Himself that is on the pages of the Holy Text, not Man

    You are part of your society, whether locally or globally, and that is all there is. The Bible simply guides you through your reality and tells you about the hardships you will encounter along, just like every religion.

    If you don't trust that legacy of our ancestry, what will you end up trusting?

    Because man was inspired by God to write the Bible.

    A transcriptionist writes the words of a doctor. Is it her words, or the doctors words?

    The writers of the Bible transcribed the words of God. That is why scripture states that all words in it, are "God breathed". They are through His inspiration, not the men that put it on paper.

    You can't, you shouldn't. You shouldn't trust anything just because people tell you too.

    If so, look for someone or something that you can trust.

    God used holy men as He moved them to write His word. The Bible has been proven through its hundreds of fulfilled prophecies and archaeological discoveries.
