Since you don’t believe the entire Bible is trustworthy, how do you know which parts you can trust?

Originally posted by @rajk999You realize Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote the gospels? Luke also wrote Acts, John wrote several other books including Revelation, so why would you treat these guys recollection of Jesus words over doctrine given by the Holy Spirit? What the Holy Spirit shares will never contradict anything that the Father or Son say!

-Removed-Our accepting everything everyone else believes isn't important, it is being accepted by
Jesus Christ, and I mean that happening NOW in this life, being given God's Spirit, and
with that, that we love one another. When we are with God and God's love is our
purpose in what we do the small stuff should remain small stuff. The fruit of the Spirit will
be evident if we are walking loving each other as we are called too, we will be fulfilling
all that the Lord requires, you always treat those you actually love with the kindness they
need. The Lord Himself needs to be in our lives to make this happen, it isn't something
we can earn or through human effort become.
If we are not, it will be evident too, by the fruit of our lives will have all the ear marks of
living in the flesh as hate and not doing the good we should.
The Bible is trustworthy, I think until you realize that much of it will seem to be odds with
other parts of it. The obvious answer to you question however will be it will depend on
what parts are accepted and what are rejected. I have no doubt it will NOT be a big deal
on how old the earth is, but if you justify hating those around you, yea, you and God are
having issues. Finding God in Jesus Christ is of utmost importance, not just believing in
Him, but finding Him, even the devil believes in Jesus it isn't going to do Him any good at
all. He calls us to take His yoke upon us and learn of Him, this isn't done from a distance
but this life, it is also the very best part of life, since He can take us through all the trials
of this life, both the good and bad.
