That is an important question. And again a reminder from God and it's interpreters best hold those answers.
You don't know it's true before knowing it's true. But giving different books a try, and one of them might hold all the answers you were looking for and more.
The search for wisdom is good no matter what. There is no harm in seeking wisdom.
So then, circular reasoning is needed. No thanks.
Please let us know how to tell the difference between this 'reminder from God' you speak of, is actually true, or just you being gullible.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
