Religious people: How do you know what you believe is right without referring to a book?
@Cher
PRECISELY!
"The Gentiles" who were "grafted in" (Rm 11:17) in Acts 11:15-17 (((NEVER))) had A BOOK and were (((NEVER))) under Mosaic law but they "HEARD" the message and "BELIEVED" the message from the "SENT PREACHER" (Rm 10:14-15) "Peter" and were given (((THE GIFT))) (v17) of Holy Spirit baptism (vs15-16).
@JIMMY
You have to "HEAR" the message and "BELIEVE" the message from a "SENT PREACHER" (Rm 10:14-15) in order to be given (((THE GIFT))) (v17) of Holy Spirit baptism (vs15-16).
@ANON
"He whom GOD has SENT [Rm 10:14-15] (((THE SPIRIT))) is given him without measure" (John 3:34).
Which means (((WE DON'T NEED ***A BOOK***))) because "Jesus gives us commandments through the Holy Ghost" (Acts 1:2).
That you believe is "foolishness" (I Cor 2:14).
"The LORD is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (II Peter 2:9).
"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved." (Romans 10:1)
@ANON
YOU POOR THING!
"MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE" (JOHN 10:27)!
"Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, (((I WILL MAKE MY WORDS IN ***THY*** MOUTH FIRE,))) and this people wood, and it shall devour them (Jeremiah 5:14).
(((IF))) YOU WERE A BELIEVER THEN YOU WOULD (((KNOW))) GOD SPEAKS THROUGH HIS SERVANTS (AMOS 3:7).
@WIND RIVER
"Search the scriptures; for in them ye (((THINK))) ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39).

Word was and is to this very day first and last. Only with word is anything known or created. No flesh without thought first . No big bang without sound no sound without word. sight smell taste touch sound to feel mathematics energy is all word. You can believe study think test or call it faith or God worship it. But not without Word first. Every book school church or work and life is word. It is a fact if all word was gone nothing would exist for no one could know.

Jesus Christ clearly demonstrated that He was God, by constantly doing things only God could do. He, God, founded one Church, said it was to remain one, and promised that one Church "The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth", and "Whatsoever you bind upon Earth is bound in Heaven", and "He who hears you hears Me". I know what I believe is right because it is the teaching of God's Church, and therefore guaranteed true by God Himself. He never mentioned a book. We know the Bible is true only because it was compiled by the same Church to which Jesus promised the fullness of truth, and therefore records the teaching of that one Church, when accurately and authoritatively interpreted. His Church without the book would still be teaching exactly what it teaches today. The book without His Church results in the thousands of conflicting denominations of Protestantism, who can't agree with one another on what is true and what isn't.

That is an easy one. I have gotten to know God personally. That makes it easy for me to know his nature and understand his will. Based on those, I know what is right and wrong.

Because my teacher, Jesus... is God. He is never wrong about anything. I do whatever he tells me.
By doing what he says I have not been deceived - like you.

Can you imagine a magical master of the entire vast universe who finds this middle of nowhere planet and writes a book about how much he loves us except when he wants to murder babies?
